I think that if it ever gets to the point of survival and fighting for our Republic, there will be no time for such lofty and philosophical thoughts... that time will have passed and it will be a time only for action, swift and decisive. There may be time afterwards to consider the ethics and meaning of it all, but I think we're heading into a time for making swift and hard decisions based on very little information.
As a thinking species, sometimes our big brains can get in the way of basic survival and defense of all the things we love.
A good metaphor for this is the story of the Gordian Knot, where countless men tried to untie it without success. Until Alexander the Great stepped up and cleaved it with his sword.
Thus endeth the lesson.
