Fine. I'll call you out. Hunger did. Do you have no compassion?

His children are starving. Now what?

Give them food and support? Like the rest of the modern world does when their citizens are out of work.
I don't mean to sound devoid of compassion; I'm not.

Most military contractors make very good money.

Even if, in your hypothetical, he has starving children, I don't see any compassion in telling him to murder other people's children. This just seems like insanity to me.
