if i supported the institutions already in place before the invasion... then yes i would.
if i was in opposition to the native regime, then i would wait to see what would shake out of the new system before taking action.
i would, under no circumstances, kill or endanger my countrymen in the process.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
