“Whose Flight Was Swifter Than the Lamanites’”

Brant Gardner

When the defensive positions are overrun, there is no calculated retreat, no strategic withdrawal. There is flight. The flight is rapid and cannot make certain to retreat in a group. There are stragglers, and those who can escape faster are unable to slow to help their former comrades-in-arms. This is a panicked and desperate headlong flight away from the massive numbers that have overrun their positions.
