I see "Christian pacifists" as fools. "Turn the other cheek" only works with non criminals.

I can't argue with you. Many have called them "traitors" rather than fools because they make us look conflicted and weak, which spurs on our enemies. What I'm asserting is that they are not the only ones among us who spur on our enemies. I would expect you to have the same disdain you have for them for any others who also spur on our enemies. Yet you disdain one and embrace the other. I don't know if that's because you recognize the value of the other as cannon fodder whereas the pacifists have no utility at all or whether you don't see that both are dangerous to us.
