Yes, that's a tough question. If you can make a clear argument that it's defensive, it might be reasonable. For many reasons, this likely wouldn't apply to me so it's also hard to answer. For a young man, I'd probably do all I could to avoid fighting if it weren't illegal or significantly punishable, especially if it were not defensive, which you'd almost be called into in some capacity in any case, if it actually were an attack on home soil.
 
Couple of centuries ago people learned Greek. Now almost no one does it and we are bewildered why there's a loss of understanding today.
I still have my father's Greek textbooks, from when he was in high school in the USA, no less. That was in the 1950s. He was reading Xenaphon's Anabasis, Plato, Aristotle, etc.
