Depends on what kind of pacifist. These left wing anti-war zealots are not true pacifists, they are traitors who only selectivly oppose violence when american interests are at stake but are war mongerers when american interests are not.
However true pacifists, like the amish, are generally consistant, and live out there ideals, in both theory and practise. I had a college teacher back in the day who called herself a pacifist, and was more or less a war mongerer.
By the way, Gandi, who is like the godfather of modernday pacifism, often was quick to point out the difference of cowardness and pacifism, and condemned cowards who used pacifism or non violence as a cloak to hide there cowardness.
Even "true" pacifists like the Amish are parasites, because they can only survive in a robust and free society which will protect them from external dangers, at times with violence. This doesn't mean I despise the Amish. God bless them. But let's be clear: any persons or groups who depends exclusively on others to defend them are parasites.
