Normally I'm all for entertaining whatever criticism anyone has, but this displays exactly the worst aspects of armchair commentary. I don't think you have any understanding of what the situation on the ground was like. 1. What, do you think putting "Don't give up" on a poster in Swartz's office would have helped? 2. In a chess game, you can sacrifice the queen without blinking, but in real life the decision might not be cold and you don't get to make it into a cold decision if you're in the situation. 3. Spoken like someone who will never, ever take a risk or a stand on principle. What you saw was the actions of someone thinking it through! This I think is where your arrogance is most evident, in that you're evaluating someone's strategy in a calm environment without any display of understanding of the pressure the situation creates. 4. You seriously think Aaron didn't fight? You just think he should have fought more? What a nice little opinion you have.
