No.

You nonchalantly blow right past the qualification at the beginning of the very sentence you snipped to cite, LOL

“Only when evasion by an individual is impossible...”

That in NO WAY implies that going limp upon approach by the enemy is proper or excusable.

Tallguy put this best so I’m going to quote him

“If you’re sitting in a zodiac with nothing but light shoulder weapons & pistols, and you get surrounded by patrol boats mounting heavy machine guns, the prudent thing to do is surrender or call on the support of your frigate. Since no help was forthcoming they did the only thing they could do — remember they couldn’t really inflict any casualties on the Iranians in the process (you can’t argue with Ma Deuce).”

What do you think they should have done? Swam for shore?
