I don't understand the question----why would ANYBODY have to stay at home? I mean, maybe I watch too many movies, but wars are always fought, off in fields, somewhere----people who worked in cities wouldn't have to stay at home----maybe those who worked in the fields would have to stay at home.
Also, I certainly would NOT go on vacation when my country / countrymen were in distress----I agree with CockneyRebel: I would rather be IN the war; and, if the war was at my home, I would most CERTAINLY wanna stand and fight / defend it!
