You are still implicitly going with the idea that someone has to defend the current civilisation on behalf of inferior pacifists who won't.

What if there's a peaceful answer which sacrifices way of life instead of human life? Would supporting it be "luxury"?

Setting aside the fact that almost nobody would have agreed to it, surrendering and living under communism would have sacrificed human life as well, just as it did for every other communist country.
