It doesn't take a brain surgeon of a captain to figure out that if the localizer is showing full deflection on one or both of the instruments during the ILS and the FO is repeatedly saying that you are off course toward high terrain that it is time to go-around no matter what airport you are at. That is regardless of the stuff that happened earlier in the flight. There is always an excuse, but there is responsibility that comes with being PIC. Can't handle the obvious then don't take up the position.
