Get invisible? How the hell does this help? Like jews hiding in the attic? How did that make anything better? If others didn’t come to their rescue they would have been found and killed or lived miserable worthless lives in hiding and there is no one coming to save our asses.
Fighting to the death (“give me liberty or give me death”) seems the only way to me.
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian." Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day." Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember, with advantages, What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words— Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester— Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be rememberèd— We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

“ Get invisible? How the hell does this help?”
Don’t make yourself a target. It’s not very hard to do actually. Even if you are fighting to the death, it’s not a bad idea to be invisible. And it isn’t really hard to do today. Think the French Resistance, as opposed to, say, The 300 or Ben Hur.
