What would you do if...

You have dead people around you, you could eat if you absolutely had to, wouldn't be any reason to kill the comrade. Also if you radio equipment isn't damaged then you could call it in, also if you're not in hostile territory, then I'm sure a rescue team will be sent to check on any survivors...

I'm a professional survivalist, so let me educate you poor fools on how to survive this scenario.

1. Slaughter your comrade, but do it so you save most of his blood. Fill your canteen with said blood to drink.

2. Wrap his entrails around yourself. Cover as much of your head, torso, and arms you can.

3. Begin your trek. Travel only at night. Intermittently poor blood over your entrail suit to keep it moist. Drink the rest.

4. Fire your flare gun. Hope that it attracts a small tourist group. Proceed to beat them to death with your M4. We don't want to waste rounds.

5. Commandeer the bus and drive to the nearest outpost.

Bam. Problem solved.

First off, no true marine (or any service member for that matter) would resort to killing their own for their own personal benefit. Second, I would travel 50 miles towards the direction of the base. I would drink my own urine if it came down to it. When nightfall came, I would stop and fire my flare gun and rest. Do it all over again until we reach our destination, or die.

if you are a properly trained marine you can walk 50 miles and you will have a general idea of were to go (the sun will give you a general idea of were the north is and you knew the flight plan so you have an educated guess on were to go) come the night use the flare. and get some water from the desert night so you can start rehydrating. next day start moving again. and keep on going until you either get to a safe local or your partner dies which you will eat and drink his blood. :)

I could be wrong about this but I don't think iraq is in the sahara desert which is africa i think. The only sensible answer you wrote was to head the 50 miles back to base, if you were to kill somebody in that climate you probably have a day or 2 to eat them before decomposition would start to occur. As for firing you flare into the air? are you being serious? That won't be seen 50 miles away so it would only attract enemies. Honestly though these sound like two shit marines.

If you got weapons it's not such a big deal, there might be a camel around that you can shoot.

And you don't hope you're going in the right direction, you know you are. At daytime you can watch the sun (it rises in the east, then at noon it's in the south and eventually it sets in the west) and at night you can see the stars and you got the polar in the north. Hey, I've never been in the military and I know such things. Then a soldier should definately know that.

Shouldn't be sending unexperienced people in the military. Eat your gun.

I'd find some water and kill an animal to eat. Move at night, find shade during the day.

Holy shit lol, these comments provided a lot of entertainment.

Well... better start walking.

This sounds disturbing but I heard its a way to survive. Take a piece of glass (helicopter window) and urinate on it and then loeave it out on the heat for a while and it absorbs most of the urine leaving small ammounts of water.

Well you'd have more stuff on your person than just weapons...
