matrixmannSometimes a commander must decide whether to save his own life or to die with all that he has along his side. For citizens that count on him, it's a bitter pill - he won't be there to protect them anymore. Any way he decides.
If he stays probably it is his own end and perhaps the end of the war. If he leaves, along with his subordinates, some will call him a traitor and try to hunt him down.
Sometimes he needs to decide whether to keep his honor and the honor of his troops, or if he stays realistic and follows what he has been taught.
Sometimes the strategy is not to win all the battles, but the decisive fights.
At times, there's nothing else left but to acknowledge your own helplessness as a warrior.

It's all about strategy - you shouldn't act like an emotional fool, you should decide what is nessecary.
