I don't know how much you want to disclose WY, but say things did get out of hand in your area, how easy is it for you to get out of the country?

Depends on how serious the threat was. We have been stranded in country before.

It's a threat rating. If it was as high as it could be. I would be left with hiding in a ditch to keep safe.

No joke. I've picked some underground trenches To stay in if the s hits the f.

Yup , we've made plans for what happens if ISIS attacks the camp.The basis is, how well can you hide for as long as it takes for the PM to show up. its mostly ditch locations and trails to friendly villages.

Dear god. Bury a refrigerator in the sand (back side up) and get in there when you need to.

So, you would be waiting for the ....... prime ... minister ... ?

I have to think that would be a long wait.

The plan he has - to hide or try to run to safety in such an SOL scenario - could lead to his life continuing.

Get a gun and try to shoot as many terrorists? Not so much!

This isn't Die Hard: CP Version.

Such an American response Have a gun? No? Get one!

I'm not sure it's a kill as many terrorists as possible plan as much as it is a blow your own brains out before they cut your head off and put the video on youtube plan. Maybe I'm wrong though. I'd get one of those t shirt bazookas. Might just buy you enough time to get in the upside down fridge.

Sure, but either way, the 'have a gun' is 100% of the time going to result in death (or capture and a nasty ride until death), whereas the 'run and/or hide' has the potential to lead to continued existence.

No need to be a jerk. As you can tell if you can read it was a last stand thing. Hell if kill myself before I let Isis get ahold of me.

Yeah, base overran and run from Isis as a westerner. What are the chances of him getting out?
