[QUOTE="JAM2b, post: 74089233, member: 358658"] This is a major internal struggle for me. I lean heavily toward pacifism, but I have a "riding the fense" believe in self-defense and defending the vulnerable if there is not a peaceful option. The tricky part is lack of trust in leaders when they say it is necessary, and trusting them to do right by soldiers after war. I am very cynical when it comes to war and military action because they fight for some causes and ignore others that are just as worthy or possibly more worthy. The amount of damage to innocent lives is overwhelming. It raises many questions and doubts in my mind about the motives and intentions of leaders. I believe in the altruism, loyalty, love, and good intentions of individual soldiers. I just don't trust those in high places who make the decisions. [/QUOTE]
