Reminds me of the naive Peanuts' Linus character saying: "It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere"! It's kindergarten philosophy with disastrous consequences in the real world.

Of course, you are quite right. Any delusional asshole can kill others for his beliefs. Did'nt Nazi do this? Were they brave? According to Vonnegut, yes. Vonnegut is a doddering old fool. Any reading of Vonnegut's logic would make Stalin, Pol Pot, et. al. heroes.
