What's even sadder than the quote is the fact that it's not true. Some people will never make an about face, even if they should because they have nothing to lose 10 or 20 years from now.

Take a look at Vietnam or the Iraq War. How many people who supported those when they happened or in the decade after they happened later went public and admitted that they got it wrong? Some people did, but many never would. Part of that is their identity. They never cared about the loss of life, and they never will, but they do care about signaling to their allies what's important.
