Don't use it just to [[ISurrenderSuckers lure your enemies closer]] for a clear shot, though - that is a [[TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar war crime]]. White flags can also be used for negotiating things other than surrender (e.g., a prisoner exchange) - the basic meaning behind the white flag is "Don't shoot, we wish to talk about something."

Suppose you either are facing truly insurmountable odds, or are just the kind of quitter who panics at the first sign of trouble. You might want to surrender. A good way to do so non-verbally is to hoist and wave a white flag.
