Would you pull the trigger? Its a moralistic question, some would say yes because its in the name of the country and others will say no because blood is thicker than anything a country has to offer.

What you have posed has actually happened in the American Civil War. Open a history book and read about it. It was a common occurance that families were divided by the two sides and they fought against eachother.
