It's generally pretty good strategy to not let officer's in general command get captured. It's always good strategy when them getting captured would be for the sake of pride.

all the Marines he sacrifice retaking a island that didnt have to be taken. He did it out of pure pride. Sacrificed fathers,brothers and husbands for his pride.
