Zarlen. I'm all for moderation even moderation.
I hate war but I also know that sometimes you MUST fight if you have principles that are the basis of your life eg
Against the Facist Nazis of WW11. Where did the pacifist approach of Chamberlain leave the Allies?
Against the evils of Marxist Communism, which reached its zenith in the murder and slaughter of millions (remember the Gulags?) during Stalin's 'Reign of Terror' . Where are all those apologists (especially in academia)for the atrocities committed in the name of Communism.
The million or more murdered by Pol Pot in the name of Communism.
Against Imperial Japan during WW11.
What would you have done if you were an adult during WW11? Appease Hitler and let his jackboots trample all over you, your children and your country??
Yes war is a terrible terrible thing but sometimes there is NO alternative.
