Well sure, I can relate to what you're saying regarding freedom and the Israeli pilots. On the other hand, complete pacifism, of the type I believe we were discussing, is like a parasite living off the sacrifices of men who gave everything before them. Would freedom in America exist without the sacrifice and violence of brave soldiers who came before them? I also believe pacifists see themselves as morally superior because they refuse to fight. In the same way the media condemned the pilots for not wanting to kill civilians, pacifists condemn people willing to fight and die to defend others quite often. Some things are worth fighting for, some things are worth dying for, sometimes there are very ugly people who need to be killed for the benefit of mankind. Extreme pacifism is a vice which lives as a parasite off warriors who gave their life before them.
