I don't know I wasn't there.. I'd have to assess the situation before offering up a game plan.. Surrendering to the enemy surely wouldn't be my first option..
I don't think I'd throw my hands up and surrender to the vicious Vietcon and then hope for the best while watching them slaughter my brothers in arms.. I'd not surrender knowing I'd go though hell in the POW camp.. I'd rather go out fighting and die on the battle field if I could.. End it all there and go out in a blaze of glory, maybe take a few with me.... Well I'd like to think I'd do that anyways..
I'm not afraid to die so I don't care... I've already come close to death a few times in my life and never panicked even then...
