Bradman's attack demonstrates how ridiculous it is for the beaten to go back into battle as if nothing had happened.

When Bradman got them the first time they where fleeing in a blind panic, because they were dying like flies and couldn't even figure out how he does it... and then they charge straight back at him just to once again go into the very situation and once again try to flee head over heels from the very same opponent that beat them the first time.

They don't try to employ and kind of formation, they don't think of any tactics or tricks, they don't try to lure the enemy into ambushes (if they think you are dead on your feet, the enemy's much more likely to bite such a bait)... they didn't even do so much as say "If you see that Reaper guy, everyone focus all you have solely on him and ignore anyone else."

They just charge in blindly and make an exact repeat of the previous fight which they horribly lost. Or to put it a tad philosophical, they didn't learn anything from their past mistake and thus were doomed to repeat it.
