I suppose it is that they've never had to think about anyone else other than themselves.
This isn't a bad thing. Those that are not meant to rule should think about themselves first. They should think of how to keep themselves safe and well. But it makes life difficult for them when they are in ... situations like we find here.
Honestly, I think of it the way I would have though of a peasant in my own time: how can I expect them to lay down their lives, when they are just living their lives the best they can?
That is what a knight is for. What the King is for.
Of course, that's is what makes these times so difficult, because the roles are a bit more flexible.
While the roles may be a little more flexible, the goal is still the same. Lofty and ridiculous in the eyes of others... our wish to save, protect and guide them.
You're only making it difficult because you're trying to understand your role... and not how to fulfill your purpose, right?
