>>I get a little tired of the Pacifist approach that keeps coming up on this board, using, "were you in the service?, or "do you have a son in the service?", as an accusation that you are a "Warmonger" if you haven't. << When I asked the question, I did not suggest a 'no' answer made someone a warmonger. If anything, I meant to indicate that it is very common to see greater war advocacy among that group of people who have the least to lose. Whether that's a 'good' or 'bad' position is something they must settle within themselves and within any relationship they might have with Higher Powers. I do judge for myself that those with loved ones to lose are wise and good to demand those lives not be taken for granted, used in wrongful pursuits or put on the line for spurious reasons that harm freedom in pursuit of security... or profit.
