Military

What you guys aren't understanding is that is there is a large difference between attack and defence.

Defending your country is honourable, right and quite necessary due to potential conquest. Attacking other countries that pose no tangible threat is disgraceful behaviour.

I'm happy to support soldiers who engage in the former, indeed I am proud of them for it.

But I have nothing but contempt for those who go forth and mindlessly attack. Indeed, I have the utmost respect for those few recent conscientious objectors who risked imprisonment and other punishments to make their moral point.

There are worse things than war. If you are a SWAT sniper and a hostage taker is about to kill 50 little black children (they are black therefore if you disagree with me you are racist) would you not kill the hostage taker just because it would be you who is pulling the trigger? How would Mahatma Gandhi's idea of resistance fair against a sadistic maniac like Adolf Hitler?

Hippy.
