Well, the designers of this code were really stupid.  The Germans armies
of WWII had a simple way of preventing this problem. In the German army,
any soldier caught behind the lines without an official pass was simply
shot by German MP's. This crude arrangement was very effective. So,
just program the virtual soldiers to know that certain death awaits
anyone who moves a certain distance backward from the line of battle.

End of problem.
