Of course it’s easy for me to ask, but I notice you didn’t answer my question.

It’s their country. If they wish to defend it in the manner of their choosing, that is certainly their right. Would you do the same?

Sorry, I thought I did. I wouldn't throw away the lives of my men, and their equipment, for nothing.

You ask, "....if they wish to defend it in the manner of their choosing.."

A suicide mission isn't a defense..ask the Japs..the few that survived, on any Pacific island. It's NOT a defense. Period.

I'd likely trade land/space for time...pull them all back..see what happens.
