One can understand that there are extreme situations where there may not be anything left to fight with. Carlos Hathcock, highly successful Veetnam sniper, operates in the out-country, said he always kept one round stashed. He’s seen numerous times how the NVA/gooks treated prisoners.

That last bullet was because White Feather was a high value target because of his success and Charlie would have treated him even worse and then parade him around Hanoi, dead or alive.

True, and he was in positions of limited support and supply. I guess we have to look at the separate position of “total war” vs the expected treatment under “rules of war”. My Grandfather did note that had they known how bad being a POW of the Japanese was going to be, they’d have probably fought right to the bitter end and saved that last round for themselves.

You’ve got to be pretty out of hope to get there though.

When/if this ever becomes a fight in North America though, that’s it. There’s not going to be any do-overs. I’d like to think with Jesus’ help, I’ll spend that last one on one more Marxist devil worshipper on the chance that last guy might be one of their versions of the epic battlefield hero down the timeline but for some jackass middle aged dude drilling him in the guts with the last round out of a grubby, smoking, 1911.
