At what point during ones capture do you allow yourself to not go into a berserker rage and fight so hard that their only recourse is to shoot you? Go out swinging,biting, go crazy whatever at this point esp if you're an American you know what the end game is.die on your shield.
I'm not saying I'm such a bad ass that I'd "chuck Norris" these guys and walk away but I would NOT be captured and used for propaganda. That said I wouldn't be in Syria to begin with under non military reasons.
They have their new Izumo class carrier they could send into the gulf. Can carry 28 fighter aircraft. They won't do it, but I'd love to see it.
