 In this situation each soldier has a reason to flee. This is because fleeing provides the only chance of escaping unharmed, which is the outcome each most prefers. However, the situation is a dilemma, because if each soldier pursues this course of action, then they will both end up worse off than if neither had. Furthermore, the dilemma is magnified by the fact that for each soldier, F is his unique best response to any strategy the other soldier might choose. That is, F is each soldier’s strictly dominant strategy, and \((F,F)\) is the unique Nash equilibrium of this game even though both soldiers would fare better is they could somehow follow \((S,S).\)
