I send my military to go kill some goblins then they all get themselves killed cause they start running away with (cannot fallow orders) in their status

[RustyTheBrave]

I've noticed this as well, usually with outnumbered dwarves, so I think it's more they run away if they think the odds are against them, or they're wounded. Wounded dwarves drop back from the fight, I think, unless they're immediately engaged again or the wound isn't yellow or red, because several times I've seen a military dwarf running away from a goblin while flashing with yellow wounds.

Orders to kill a creature are broken.  Often the pathfinding doesn't work for whatever reason, so the dwarves just run to their barracks or meeting hall instead.  Instead of ordering them to kill something, order them to move next to it and then hope they'll just attack it on sight.
