Yeah, I remember my Dad used to talk about that when he came back from a tour in VietNam. What a barbaric thing to do. I know they were at war but good Lord....how awful.

there wasn't a

No, I would take my chances fighting the enemy. There are countless number of stories where the will to survive overcame insurmountable odds. I would never be able to live with myself for not protecting those who needed protection the most, so fight and survive, or fight and die. At least I go on to a better life knowing I made the right choice.

I would 'Hawkeye' out..
And my series would end shortly thereafter and my career would just slowly disintegrate until they asked "alan alda WHO??"

It's a Jeep thang!
I have thought and thought. I still don't know.
To be quite honest, even answering what you believe you would do may not be the case in real life. I cannot honestly picture myself taking the life of a child. But any given situation in a "WAR" type environment, sometimes you think differently.

In theory if the only option was to kill a baby to save the lives of 10 others then the choice would be to kill the child.. If it is a baby born into a war torn zone, its health is at a low and chances for survival are low.. one to save many is logical.
Sooo many factors and other ways to quiet a child without smothering it to death.

M.A.S.H.
Hawkeye kept trying to convince himself it was a chicken.. and they were in a bus, not a basement.
Wow! It's terrible to see how many people vote to kill the child. Can someone tell me how a child killer is not as guilty, or as savage a person, as the enemy you are trying to hide from?
Being unwilling to give up your own life for someone evil, disagreeable, or whatever is, at least, understandable. However, being unwilling to sacrifice yourself for an innocent child is the epitome of selfishness and cruelty.

you won't be giving up your life FOR the child.. the premise being EVERYONE dies if you don't quiet the baby. SO if you don't, they kill you AND the baby.. Baby gets the stinky end of the stick no matter what you chose.
BUT one option lets ten others live.

Eternal Life is available to EVERBODY....As well as Eternal Seperation. our choice........btw Jesus is EVERYWERE, EVERYTIME.
So then they grab you and the baby, rape you and torture you, then run a bayonet through the baby. What does that accomplish except now you're dead, too?
And you get to the Pearly Gates and Jesus says, "What do you mean I didn't help you?? I gave you a perfectly good gun!"
Anyway, that doesn't pertain in this scenario because in the MASH episode, they were unarmed and sitting ducks.
