Compromise though is probably one of the most important actions a person can adopt and applies to nearly everything a person engages in. Some people are good at it, others not very and dictatorial types suck at it.

All I'm more or less saying, is the tragic deaths involved at the magazine really could've been avoided if restraint (not surrender) had been shown, a smart general withdraws his troops from the field when things aren't going well, as he knows he can come back and fight another day.
