Actually, the first time young George was sent to lead was to the Ohio Territory in the French and Indian war. The opposing enemy took George by surprise-- he was forced to surrender. He was so humiliated and disillusioned that he vowed to never go into a battle again.
But he was tapped again to lead. He accepted but reluctantly.
What is now seen as a skill to retreat was actually more of an aversion to fight. He cared about his men; he understood their hardships because these were his hardships, too. We must put his life into context, so we understand his sacrifices--and his caution.
