Will you go radio silent if ww3 breaks out?

During the last two world wars ham operators were ordered to maintain radio silence until the end of war and cb radio was not around yet. With the escalation of hostility toward Russia and China a similar situation seems somewhat possible today. Perhaps ham operators during the world war came up with the phrase "keep it low key"

i absolutely will not! if i need comms then i will use it. its war and survival at that point. im not gonna listen to some government employee. its every man for himself at that point. the tyrant government will not silence me!

Honestly, CNN gives our enemies more information than could possibly be had from 11m. Qrp hardly makes it across town anyway. If there is a chance that someone could use my transmit signal to find me and do me harm, then of course I am going to be smart about it.

Remember Saddam Hussein did not know they were defeated until they saw it on TV......

If we get to openly declared war the first thing I'm expecting to see is an EMP attack. Getting on the air may be a slightly lower priority after that.
