Depending on the situation, I'd either evac or fight for as long as possible.

Weapon-wise, I'd use my issued weapons until I ran out of ammunition, and then I'd grab the nearest weapon to me, and go from there.

Don't be mad at the Chief, he's right. There's nothing glorious in and of itself about dying for your country if your country is wrong. I think getting the hell out of there is the best response to that situation...no one wants to RON in the Sahara in the first place, morale would be low, and people don't want to fight for a person who doesn't care about their lives.

IM sorry but I have to say that this is a pointless thread. You wont know what you would actually do until you are there. Most people will play hero and say ill fight to the death and others will say call for support or w/e but really, you have no clue what your going to do in the field in that exact situation.

No one's making you post here...

Actually, to you, this thread doesn't even have to exist. Just completely ignore it. We, on the other hand, will continue our discussion.

And, keep in mind, it could be worse. We could be a bunch of gamers shouting "OMFG, I PwNz0r3D you!" all over the place.

No one is asking you to reply to his posts.

If it ticks you off that someone has an individual opinion, then ignore them. I know you have an opinion, and you are free to express it, bu don't slag other people for expressing their's.
