Hell! Make them EARN it! Don't just give up only to be tortured and killed anyway...
I've never understood the concept of surrender when facing certain death... I mean, aren't you dead either way? Might as well fight. :-/
I always thought the same thing. The enemy we are fighting today has no moral code or honor. Mind as well try and take a few of them out with you, at least that would be my policy. Not sure if you’ve seen the show TURN on AMC, but it makes you think about how the whole concept has changed since the Revolutionary War era.
