I'm going to give you a scenario. I would like you to answer in the poll ahove after having read the scenario.
You are the leader of your country. Your country is at war with another country. One day ago, your analysts cracked the enemy cipher, and you have learned of an impending attack on your capital city. You have also learned of a weakness in the enemy defensive line 5 days after the capital city will be attacked.
You have 2 choices as to how to respond.
1. You either evacuate or reinforce your capital. Either way, the enemy will realize you cracked their code, and they will change their code. They will also realize their weakness, and they will block the weakness. This choice will protect your capital city, but it will force the war to drag on. 10 Million people die in the course of the war.
2. You evacuate only the leaders of your country, and allow the enemy to destroy your capital city. Your armies wait for the weakness, and spring forward, and win the war. Your capital city, however, is destroyed. Regardless, you have won the war. 1 Million of your citizens die, along with 1 million citizens of the country you are at war with.
Stipulate that whatever I have stated will happen. No choices but 1 or 2.
What will you do?
