"But... orders... attack plan..."
"To hell with orders! To hell with the attack plan!"
Aldo growled lowly, "That's a plan for the British, French, and Polish to die, not you! Your mission has changed, survive, let as many young men as possible survive, hold on to even a toilet-sized piece of territory you're occupying now! Second, hand out medals to your men to honor their 'brave fight' and 'tenacious resistance'. Do you need me to teach you how to write the battle report? 'Encountered a tenacious resistance at the enemy's pre-set positions, our troops fought bravely, inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, and due to being outnumbered and lack of timely coordination with neighboring allies, made tactical adjustments to preserve combat strength, stabilizing the existing front line.' Blur the casualty numbers for me! Change 'ambushed' to 'encountered tenacious resistance'! Change 'annihilated' to 'reformed after significant casualties'!"
