家园 I believe life is more

important than "honor".

Getting stuck in one extreme cold place without further support is not a quite honorable behavior. It is not a shame to withdraw.

Actually, Gen. Smith was decorated with honor by the Dept. of Defense because he amassed his 1st Marine Division and withdrew successfully to minimize possible casualties. His soldiers are still grateful to him today for this leadership.

Again, I have to admit that after living too long in States, my value system might change too much, a bit non-Chinese: maybe I put too much emphasis on saving lives than other criteria.
