Rather, you hide behind your children, the invaders scream that they only want your money, but you kick the children closer to the attackers so that they slow them down at the cost of their lives, while simultaneously locking your front door and barricading the windows so that the children cannot escape from the house instead of dying at the hands of the attackers, as you want.
The children are crying, screaming that they don't want to die, asking you to let them go. But you are adamant: they must die for you.
Why? For what? There is no answer. Their job is to die, not to ask questions, and if they don't want to die at the hands of invaders, they will die at your own hand.
> Yes. But what is the war being fought for?
Someone breaks into your home. Kills family members. They're still coming in.
You tell your kids to get behind you. Then you turn to face the invader.
That's what this war is being fought for.
