Often the internal network is connected to the outside by a router(*) 
provided by the ISP (perhaps with WiFi), and can't be considered secure: 
thus the need for a firewall running on our computers, even on the 
"internal" network.

 (*) My ISP hasn't provided a single update for my router for years. Even
     if it is Linux inside, that can't be considered secure. It doesn't
     come "secured" out of the box: firewall disabled, common login/pass
     published on web pages...
