ELI5: If following the insurgency is a one way ticket (meaning if you join, you die) why are so many young people joining it?

Imagine you're a young man, you live in a terrible place, and the future is bleak. 

Next, imagine that one day you learn that the rich, well-armed people who've come to your country have killed your child/wife/mother with a drone/roadside checkpoint/tank/rifle round through a mud wall. Your family is all you have. 

Check that, it's all you *had*.

What are you going to do?
