The whole idea of "living to fight another day" is to do just that: LIVE to fight another day, and another after that, and so on. If you die in the process so be it, but suicidal missions may make a splash yet really have no long-term benefit. The Jews in the ghetto knew it was a last stand, in fact they wanted "....to choose the time and place of our death". Different situation altogether than I was referring to.
