    I'll start it off...


    Why do people commit to armed resistance?

    • Their way of life and things they value are threatened enough to decide for armed conflict (not to be confused with total war).
    • Desire to acquire or maintain higher needs such as power and/or wealth (deadly and dangerous endeavor).
    • They are conscripted.


    Why do they stop?

    • Their way of life and things they value are no longer threatened enough for armed conflict (not to be confused with victory).
    • Failing at acquiring or maintaining higher needs such as power and/or wealth at some point (killed, maimed, flight, or captured).
    • They lose the will to fight.
