I got in a similar argument with a dork on a messageboard (who actually claimed to be military himself) who kept saying anyone who wasn't gung ho for Iraq wanted to "surrender and retreat". I got pendantic on his ass, both asking who we were going to go and negotiate the terms of our surrender with (and what we would give them for the right to lose) and pointing out that retreating and surrendering were actually mutually exclusive options for when you are losing.
