You sir, have the attitude that General Gates had in “The Crossing” after George Washington announced that he planned to attack the Hessians at Trenton.

And General Washington knew the value of a strategic retreat.

Except General Washington didn’t retreat at Trenton. He stood and fought. He knew the odds were against the continental army, but he fought anyway.
