So is this one of those fights where we should go to the merge no matter what the cost, or should we take a second to consider where we really stand after the initial engagement? Right now I see a bunch of fired up guys with their fangs out heading in full AB toward an established furball. They have only half a picture and don't care to hear any more. All they want is a kill, because dammit, they deserve it. In my experience, that almost never ends well.
Sorry for the military stuff. But you started it.
