What if those are options that don't align with the teams'?
I can see, of course, LOTS of opportunity for drama and role-playing; but what's the Project's stated goal for Operation Paperclip? "We'll need to make sure the elite survive for the five or so years after the Atomic War."
Remember, a team won't have Bruce Morrow's "proof that the War is inevitable and inescapable" (whatever that is). You wake up a bunch of constitutional scholars, nuclear engineers, brain surgeons, Nobel laureates in biology, etc. five years after the Atomic War and tell them: "We kidnapped you a few weeks before an atomic war was predicted to occur without warning, and froze you in secret cryogenic bunkers. No, you can't go looking for your family, you have to do what we say -- the Project isn't a democracy. Your task is to assist us in rebuilding American civilization after the War."
Of course, the team will have a fusion-powered armored car, which is proof they aren't just escaped lunatics.
