Truth hurts, doesn’t it - you hypocrite!
The Quakers, when Pennsylvania joined with other colonies for mutual defense, would vote for “flour and other forms of powder” to pretend that they were not approving appropriations for gun powder. Pacifism is unworkable so long as men are violent somewhere, and therefore its proponents, to the extent that they take their belief seriesly but must deal with the violent reality of a violent world, have to resort to hypocrisy and pretense.
