At first they argue with Ironwood how he can't take only some of the people and run away and then they go and 'steal' the only way for the Atlas to escape Salem (the Winter Maiden) and run away themselves. That's just... no.... I'd say that's likely, but our heroes retreating for the time being was the smart move. Had they not, then they would've been captured and their lives may have been in danger (given what the general did with Oscar).

Just... we'll have to see where we go from here. They were the ones who wanted to stay and fight for Mantle. Their lifes would have been at risk no matter what. Yes, it's a completelly different thing a fight an army with another army behind you than alone, but it sdoesn't give them right to force Atlas to do what they wanted while they temselves run away to safe their own skin.

It's like... Locking your friend into a burning building because their sibling had broken leg and you thought that your friend shouldn't leave them behind.
