That is not analogous.
A correct analogy would be you live in a street with a murderer. When the police
come to arrest him you start shooting the police because you are "fighting for your
street". After the police manage to kill you and the murderer someone thinks it would
be a good idea to honor your brave battle against the police. |
That's not right either. The correct would be that the police is coming to take your street by force and kill you if you'd oppose it. Knowing that yer wife would personally kill you if you didnt oppose the attackers, you have no choice but to fight. (The wife in this case being the leader of the nation)
