I admire the sentiments of pacifism, but I've been in too many bad situations to give up violence as a tool. Perhaps there will be a time in your life when it's you, or him. Killing doesn't even have to be a part of the equation. Once in a while a person with a problem won't leave you be, and the only thing they respond to is getting their face broken.

I think most people on this board haven't done anything to drive home how shitty war is. My neighbor was on a boat of some sort during WW2 and it still fucks him up thinking about all the people he's never going to see again. "muh martial glury n ancestor" faggots have probably never been in a real fight, let alone a situation where they might die.
>>531614
sounds like your neighbor was a pussy to begin with.
My entire male line on the other hand has gone to war and come back decorated heroes. Glory honor and bravery courses through my veins, ideals liberal pussyshits like you could never understand.
>>531623
>My entire male line on the other hand has gone to war and come back decorated heroes
That's because they never expirensed the war on their own land.
The thing is war mostly isn't killing your mortal enemies in a heroic charge, most of the "horrors of war" aren't even related to fighting to begin with. I sure as fuck wouldn't like to be hunting rats in some ruined building out of starvation while slowly dying of hunger, thirst, frostbite and infection.

Fucking pussies.
If you want peace, you have to prepare yourself for the war.
Would you participate in a war that you know your country would lose? like if your country is Iraq and US just invaded it.

You see, I had 2 friends who had the exact same reasoning as you do.
And even though I spent A LOT of time hanging out with them, they got their asses handed to them constantly, while I only got punched twice (and one of those occasions was pulling one of those friends out of a fight).
It's only impossible to resolve issues with actual, schizophrenic loonies and those are rare as fuck.
There are some things worse than war.
>>531819
Humans are capable of doing the worst things imaginable without remorse
Anything that can be done to somebody can be done by another person
2bh worst atrocities to ever happen have been because of human conflict
I would never enlist to fight unless my homeland was directly threatened. But if it were I would fight to defend it.

And it still doesn't stop a good portion of veterans from missing the military and often, war.

Hungarian here. My country has had plenty of war.
War is an opportunity to cleanse the nation of excess culture. Things like obsession with social media and divisiveness over petty political things. War takes much, but it takes someone truly blind to not see that perpetual peace makes a people complacent, naive, and weak.
Peace is good, but every few decades things need to be shaken up. The current state of forced peace in Europe just means that nations can't evolve dynamically anymore. Big countries have banded together and little countries need to just accept what they're stuck with. Europe's most powerful country (Germany) has a shit military and a weak leadership that only takes the reigns of Europe when it works against Europe. It's pathetic, and it wouldn't have stood for a month in old Europe, when stupidity and carelessness were punished. We think we're free but we've traded visible and clear kings for corporations and powerful men you'll never hear of, much less hold accountable for how much sway they hold over our world.
War is bad, but this peace is worse. It signals the degeneration of our world, and in a hundred years when African countries will have grown powerful enough to force European influence out of their lands, when American dominance of the Pacific slips, and when Germany becomes an actual shithole welfare state, we'll have gotten what we deserved. If you don't export your bull shit, someone will import theirs.
I'm not even bitter, we deserve everything that's going to happen to us, because we pulled a Romans and became a society of excess and complacency.

That's because war fucks them up to the point of no longer being able to function in a society anymore. It's almost never "wew, that was nothing but tons of fun" but "shit, I'm fucked to the point where I can only properly function in an army"

They don't miss it because its fun, you insufferable fuckstick. They miss it because the sense of purpose you have from being deployed during a major operation is like nothing else most people will ever get in their lives. To top it off, you're stuck somewhere with people that you will develop very personal relationships with.
There are very very few combat veterans that speak fondly of their combat experiences. Its always their buddies and what they were there to do that they speak fondly of. The ones that do speak fondly are these full-hooah airborne infantry adrenaline war-junkies like one sergeant I had who always talked about Warhammer 40k and shit.
Burmese local here,
our country has been plagued by a civil war since our independence in '48. The other day, a 50-something veteran amputee knocked on my front door to beg for money because the state only gives him 40 dollars a month, which isn't even enough for rent in his squalid little room.
It was a very heartbreaking thing to see a man that's completely broken in body and in spirit. War IS a terrible thing, and you don't even need to experience it to know it.

That depends. Are you, and do you define a 'pacifist' as a physically and mentally weak spineless pussy who 'avoids conflict' and would never fight for anything or 'get involved', and believes the horseshit that 'violence never solves anything' etc.
If so, no.
If you define it as one who will fight to protect the things and people he cares for, might enjoy an honorable conflict/fight now and again, yet still despises the throwing away of innocent lives, needless war and violence, things like torture and genocide and harbors utter contempt those who would order others into conflicts while being too cowardly to practice what they preach/go out and fight or be useful themselves.
Then yes and I am.

What was the other time? And I would wager that you got hit so little as in the example you cited, you might not have gotten involved in the actual fight and just dove in singularly to hold your friend back.
>It's only impossible to resolve issues with actual, schizophrenic loonies and those are rare as fuck.
No, it's not 'rare as fuck' and at the very least less rare as you claim. Even if it were one of those rare occasions, it has every bit of that chance to escalate in a life threatening situation. This world has many very bad people who will, or people who have no qualms about, making a decision where they will thrust you into a situation where violence is the most trustworthy option out. They will without hesitation try to jump, rob, kill, rape and do many more horrible things to you or those you love or both. Having a violent means of defending yourself (i.e. martial arts, weapons/guns) and knowing how to properly use it is not only smart but critical. Unike certain people would have you believe we are not, 'beyond the need for violence and conflict', in an era where it is no longer needed, neither are we, nor were our ancestors, barbarous savages for knowing and developing such means for self defense and defense of others. Anyone who thinks we have no need for these things demonstrates that they have not learned anything from history and are unprepared to deal with any violent eventualities. Nothing but easy prey for those who would take advantage of their weakness

Those people are hypocrites and cowards. You can enjoy 'violence' (I. e. such as martial arts) and hate needless conflict that brings uneccessary harm, such as harm to innocents
Not a pacifist but I know very well that all ''warlike people'' here would avoid military service if a war happened hell they are fucking avoiding it right now. So much for them being brave warriors.
>>532045
The US military suffers greater ptsd than other nations with the same volume of experiance. Part of the issue is the culture of the US millitarily itself as much as the act of going to war.
The only reason pacifism is allowed is because you betas have the privilege of the State committing violence on your behalf.
>>531205
I'm fine with pacifism as long as the pacifist wont call the cops when I rob them. Having to use a proxy for your violence doesent make you a pacifist.

I'd also agree that many liberals(the cowardly type)to which he is referring would avoid even meaningful conflict and fighting that could stop bad individuals and save people.
