NR,
Real innocent people are dying and you offer cartoon stories!
I don't consider it a 'cartoon story.
First, regardless of political philosophy, these men had gone to the trouble of insuring they had at least one additional option to standing by and dying with their family.
Second, politics aside, the mentality to survive is definitely stronger in some of us than in others.
Third, those unable to recognize the reality of a large portion of the world's population recognizes NOTHING except physical power, by definition, volunteer to become victims, while those of us who do recognize this permanent fact survive and rescue others.
I totally understand why you are unable to see beneath the surface story.
