I would fight and hide at the same time(If I had the morphing power I'd actually do a lot of hiding ;D and fight whenever there wasn't another option or if it was a battle I though I'd be able to win)

I know i would be terrified. i would be scared to death. but i would still fight. even the Animorphs, even Rachel were scared to death. but they still fought. like Rachel said,

As a joke I'd pour a large amount of salt in the yeerk pool. Seriously why didn't anyone think of that?
The idea of a guerrilla war is interesting though. I mean, it is impossible to win a guerrilla style war so the yeerks could not possible win. Furthermore, wouldn't defeating the yeerk in your head just be as simple as taking a large does of some drug. Not enough to kill the human, just to kill the slug. I really don't know what I'd do though. You can never really tell what someone will do if their life is on the line. I guess I would fight, but I don't think there would be any enlisting for me. Just not my style. Honestly I wouldn't sell people out, but I would prefer to take the yeerks out my own way. Like maybe with explosives or something like that. If the animorphs actually were real and fighting this war in real life, I would be amazed that they never really cracked.

Yeah, Courage is like that, but how would you fight? Its not like those morph capable people will trust you the morphing power to fight alongside them. After all, you might be a controller just asking for morphing power.

And its not like you can directly attack the Yeerk Pool or base either, You would die ten minutes before you got to the entrance. How the hell will you get high calibre guns and explosives to blow up the Yeerk Pool Anyway?

Plus, the courage thing. Sure, Courage is beating your fear even if its there. But I doubt anyone could suddenly jst fight that fear. You will see what I mean when you know you are about to get KILLED. NOT DIE. KILLED. You really don't know how you would just love to beg to your killer, "Please don't kill me." Believe me, I've been there. Not that easy. The Animorphs were forced to fight because they were haunted by knowledge and responsibility, recieving the powers. They had no choice, plus they can defend themselves.

If it was me, I would try to help too, but not Rachel style. After all, I use my head, I know I can't directly fight the Yeerks Rachel style. Like, be a food supplier for soldiers. Or just plain hide. That would be the most probable reaction I could do.

Anyway, if the Yeerks win, humans will have a choice either to get burned by Andalites or be slaves of the Yeerks. That would be time for suicide.

Any shotgun is infintiely better against Taxxons than a rapier. Even a 20 gauge with birdshot.

If I found out, I would definately fight guerilla style. I live in the South so acquiring fully automatic and high power rifles arent a big deal. An AK-47 round does more than enough damage to incapacitate or 1 shot kill a Hork-Bajir. However me, I find Visser 3's feeding spot and stake it out. When he feeds in Andalite form, 1 shot from a concealed spot about 400 yards away. Imagine what a .338 Lapua Magnum round would do to an Andalite head.

hmmm....that got me thinking. would that automatically kill the yeerk. normally when the host dies, the yeerk survives. However, if like you said, the blow was to the head, would it kill the yeerk as well?

Yeerk+ host... killed....

Getting into a room full of Taxxons with a rapier and a shotgun... is suicide. The stench would kill you.
