Patton said something once about the French that may be what you were looking for:

“I’d rather have two German Divisions in front of me, than three French ones behind me.”

“better an enemy in front of me than behind me”

Sounds like Stonewall or Lee!

“I’d rather have a division of German’s in front of me than a division of French behind me.”

General Patton

But please, no crybaby conservatives. If you don’t support the nominee then write in/protest vote/leave blank the POTUS vote. But VOTE. Conservative issues and candidates need conservative support at the polls this November. Do not give Hillary and/or Obama ‘coat-tails’ by sweeping in a huge new crop of Democrap legislators and issues; and have to hear that she has a ‘mandate’.

(Mandate: an extraconstituional invention of the lame stream media that supposes a presidents power is not either absolute or nonexistent based upon the Constitution, but whose power is based upon a sliding scale based upon the media’s perception of how ‘strongly’ the voters supported the candidate and their issues.)

Yes, but surrendering to the enemy in front of you is worse than surrendering to the enemy behind you.
