Not sure what your point is. Any leader who has a country in combat will loose soldiers.

From the page you linked to:

> After consultation at Cabinet level, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher agreed that Commander Chris Wreford-Brown should attack the Belgrano.[7]

So she listened to her top military advisers and agreed to their plan. Not sure there's anything wrong with that.

Listen to military advisors, sure. But be careful. Iraq and Afghanistan are recent, but in 100% of wars someone's advisors are wrong.
