there are any number of arguments either way...
i think the right thing to do would to be to ask the soldiers themselves what they would want. if there is a clear majority either way, then i think that should be the policy enforced.
so... yes. i am modifying my original opinion.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
