Yes because one of those can get my face smashed in by a baton. Moving is a far safer option for my family.

Call it selfish if you want (hell, I'd even agree with you) but my priority is my family and my life. This idea that I have to care about "my country" is patriotic BS pounded into us to make it more likely to join the army.

Just curious, do you have dual citizenship? If not, what's exactly your plan to acquire a legal resident status quickly, and where?
