      Eh. I’d look at why we’re getting attacked, the likelihood of us winning, and what’s at stake if we lose.

      The unfortunate reality of war is that it’s usually the smart people who flee while the simpletons stay behind and kill each other.

      Yeah, my family (whose intelligence I hold in high regard) raised me saying “don’t go off and die in a war.” I’d imagine a lot of other intelligent families did the same.
