Oh, what a pleasant world it would be if only there were no need for weapons or military conflict.

It doesn’t seem quite likely however.

Those who embrace the pacifist fantasy probably shouldn’t enlist in the first place.

But I assume they still want to collect their military paycheck and pension.

In WW2, the US accommodated many pacifist Quakers by having them serve as medics. They got their wish about not having to bear arms. They were still on the front lines and getting shot at, but they got their wish about being unarmed.

Similarly, the Brits can tell their new pacifists: "Right-o, mate! We're putting you to work clearing minefields and disarming IEDs. You won't have to shoot at anybody. You are unlikely to survive your next deployment, but you won't have to carry a gun."

Veterans for Peace UK

Most soldiers and veterans ARE for Peace... but they're also brave enough to go into battle when called upon. Apparently, some have decided to not be so brave anymore.

In another age, they would be hanged or shot for treason or desertion.

Veterans for Peace is a communist front group. We’ve faced off with them many times over the years.

Time to throw them out. I wonder how many young males in the Farage, Clegg or Cameron families have served within the last twenty years.
