While true, most of them are likely one paycheck away from having their family living in the streets. That's a powerful deterrent against refusing orders that the US has somehow mastered. That too.
“I was just living paycheck to paycheck” won’t be a valid defense either :P
Of course, but most people will prioritize their own family members over others. It's an explanation, not an argument against being moral.
My go-to in nuance situations that require clarification is "explanation is not justification"
The same applies to most gang members.
