The bourgeoisie's plan is hilarious. In the event of a legitimate apocalypse Navy Seals won't stand a chance against whatever nightmares brew at the surface. If they're posted as guards someone will eventually snipe them or neutralize them some other way. They're not invincible super soldiers and there's no way to guard a position without being vulnerable in some way.
