I think you may have been mistaking others succumbing to fatigue in the face of attrition as concessions, it's inflating your self confidence.
Mhm.Be wary of WW2 comparisons here, they may prove too much.
Americans ignoring British experience and walking into a massacre.
The green america army's first encounter with ther germans had them smashed by Rommel and the american army found themselves having to reorganize. A reorg which they could have done before they charged into africa by copying reforms the British had done long before and would have not required taking about 10K casualties and losing 200 tanks (good number of those were lost at sidi bo zid, which kasserine was a continuation of, but kasserine is more well known).
Not as simple as that in reality but its the best example I could think of. Think there might be a few 1917 examples as well.
