I see. Should we just murder them to avoid the pain of watching them starve slowly?

Revolutions and wars are fought by guys with nothing to lose. The warfighter family man is something of a hollywood trope -- mainly because movies do better at the box office with a love story arc in them. About 3 months into a deployment the dear john letters start and the burn barrels feast on kodak moments till redeployment.

And that's a funded well-fed military. A truly volunteer force is typically going to be people that have nothing to lose. This is why the Left indoctrinates and brainwashes society's fallouts. Antifa, street thugs, children. They know what kind of people they can get out onto the streets burning and looting.
