A What Would You Do Question

[IrishMike]

This is purly a hypothetical situation that has no connections to the real world.

The army your apart of is crushed in a battle. You lead a division of men that you know can dig and screen the rest of you fleeing army. This can give it time to regroup, resupply, and fight on. You have two choices, flee and hope someone else screens you, or you dig and fight knowing it will cost you your life, and the losses among you men will be 100%. What would you do?

I know at least I would dig in, mostly because I have always wanted a death such as that, protecting the greater good.

Stand and fight.
A Glorious death in battle.

A Glorious death in battle.

I don't know. I suppose it really depends if someone I cae about will be ruined and/or killed if we fail to fight this regaurd action. Then again, I suppose even that won't gaurantee holding the line.

You might die anyway if you flee, so atleast you have a fighting chance, remember, nothing is garunteed on the battle field. Many many times the most impossible situations in warfare have come out with the strangest of results.

Gimme a gun, ammo and some AT missiles cause we are gonna give 'em hell before giving up this pile of mud!

Once we expend all our ammo I think I would surrender, making a bayonet charge is not what it used to be....

[Kaiser of Arabia]

I would fight to the last man.
And once the ammo is out,
a glorious death leading the charge!

We are, ultimatly, all dead men. It is just how we live, and how we die, that seperate us.
