From the information we have so far, it does not appear that his people "advised" him to order that raid; in fact, they gave him plenty of indications that it was actually a Very Bad Idea (for the reasons that have since come to light: inadequate intelligence, no backup plan, etc).
So if anything, he appears to have overridden the counsel of his experienced military advisors, himself.

And then someone told him to nut up or shut up, and here we are.
