Ask Joseph Hooker about pulling back from “the high ground”. At Chancellorsville in May 1863 he did just that, retiring his larger army from commanding ground between Chancellorsville and Salem Church to a more compact but less commanding position around the Chancellor House. Fortyeight hours later his army was on its heels retreating back across the Rhappahanock River having been outflanked and outgunned by a smaller Confederate Army.
Kabul is Chancellorsville on steroids and this time we are outnumbered at least 10 to 1.
Engineered by Stonewall Jackson who, unfortunately, was shot by his own men.

Great historical example. When Hooker left the high ground, did he take his hookers with him?
