Beyond this you enter into areas of philosophical conflict. Are "things" worth dying for? Land? How about the land you ancestors are buried on being conquered by others that would kill you and take the land your family has lived on and buried their dead on for hundreds of generations? Is that then "Just land"? "Stuff"? What about religion? ideology? Communism has killed hundreds of millions between Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. They would come up with differing reasons than others.
