Realistically you wouldn't.
Because you subordinates did die.
And you don't have a plan.
You can't look for a deus ex machina for all of your little situations, neutrino, just because you're afraid of losing. Face us now like a man. A leader doesn't sit in a room, deciding that, in the case that he is attacked and badly beaten, that he'll make up some bullshit about knowing all about the attack. That's now how it works. A leader gets out there on the front lines and actually connects himself to what's happening in front of him; a leader doesn't warp reality to fit his own needs.
So why hasn't Root/Black Ops given up?
