content: That "never give up" shit is a double edged sword, which is the reason for the phrase "Discretion is the better part of valor." You don't benefit your people by being so ignorant of reality that you throw yourself at problems you cannot possibly solve. That's what women do. It's an inefficient use of manpower and time and can cause a domino-effect of losses if you die or go broke for nothing. Remaining steadfast in the face of adversity is admirable, but pointlessly wasting time and resources for pride is not.
