Ok,
Lets be real here. I have been under arms in a foreign land, and
not once did I go into a crowd "guns blazing". Your either watching way to
many movies, or your trying to use extreme measures to polarize the issue.
While I don't agree that ALL pacifists are cowards, and I do know
some of the stories of great courage and restraint, I do think that even
they have a place in serving their nation, otherwise it's not truly theirs.
With all these rights comes responsibility.
Tim

Buddism.
If you can call the Dali Lama a coward, you don't know the story.
I must admit I find your conviction that anyone who doesn't go in guns
blazing is a coward to be very depressing, I hope that that sort of
ultra aggressive attitude will die out soon.
