You have a curious idea of "not being content to sit back and be selected out" if you think that fighting "for the peaceful lives here" is different to that. You may think it will bring us one step closer to getting out of here, but so long as they don't want to escape no matter how close we are there, we won't be getting out. If when the time comes and the choice is between everyone staying or leaving, I won't be surprised if many of them choose to actually fight others to force us all to stay in order to keep their peaceful lives here.
