They thought it was best at the time.

And who are you to tell them they were misguided ? I’m not hearing you thanking and honoring them.

You are ridiculous.

It is not a great stretch to believe that the destruction of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was an example of heroic sacrifice, while believing that it was not in the interest of Newfoundland, or Canada, or anyone else to have done it.

Of the approximately 800 soldiers of the Newfoundland Regiment who fought that day, only 68 were able to answer roll call following the battle. The regiment suffered 710 casualties — 386 wounded and 324 who were killed, died of their wounds, or missing (presumed dead).
