To pursue an enemy that initiates the hostilities against a known border of long term position is playing into their hands. The attack might be meant to pull your unit across a border or into an ambush.
You have to call your own shots run your own ambushes/search and destroy missions according to your own reconnaissance/intelligence in the place and time of your choice.

That's what good intelligence and overwhelming force are for. I'm talking about Laos and the Yalu River, where restrictions handcuffed overt operations, not chasing indians into a blind canyon.
