They want to keep their jobs, to earn their salaries, to live in peace.

They have fought wars, winning some, losing many, and have learned that opposing the system is not worth the cost.

More accurately, what they have learned is that wars have a cost, so they should not be fought lightly.

Yes, you have to pick your battles. Save it for when it is really needed.
