There are people who work but don’t own things. There are those who own things but don’t work. In case of war those who own things lose due to destruction war causes. It’s in the interest of those who own things to finance their defence. Situation of those who don’t own things doesn’t change that much, they’ll pay rent to someone else.
In my experience the vast majority of the upper class are the least interested in defence. They just move their money and movable assets somewhere far away.

If there is anything left to rent. As you said, the destruction leaves very little untouched, and then they either have to move or stay homeless.
I thought that was the cops’ job, military protects the working class as well.
Elaborate please.

Progressive taxation is still the best move imo.
Which they were always at risk of and had to account for even without war. It’s not a binary thing of course though.
I’m for all kinds of taxes if that wasn’t evident enough :D
