THERE IS NO OTHER VICTORY

Everyone will tell you you're wrong. As the captain, like we see Picard commanding Jake Kurland, there is only one victory.
_______________________________
for those who have seen but do not recall Picard commanding Kurland, recall now that during an episode-long probing review of his leadership ability and loyalty to, and vision of, the ideals of Starfleet, all were surprised by young Kurland's impulsive theft of a shuttle-craft to 'run away'. While the lead investigator blocks his view of the situation and continually harasses him with disparagements of his ability, Picard adresses himself to Kurland, who has lost control of the stolen shuttle and is heading for seemingly assured destruction. Picard, over the shouts of the inquisitor, commands Jake with only words through space to take the absolute wrong action in the opinion of every other sentient aware of the situation including Jake himself: to fly directly at the planet below.
