You see, the best solution to any such situation, is to make sure they never happen. As my officers told me in the army, if we come under attack, then there's no point trying to defend ourselves, we might as well lie down and die, it's our own bloody fault for being dumb enough to come under fire.
You can't make sure it will never happen. So buck up and answer the question, or just admit you have chosen an indefensible position.

As to your officers, either they were incompetant, you are misrepresenting what they said or you failed to learn the lesson. If any officer were to say such a thing in the British army his meaning would be, "you are [blank] useless", at which point he would still expect his men to slaughter the enemy.
