Pacifists try to change things. I meant that, in battle, individual soldiers never know enough about the individuals they kill, to justify their killing. Yet those enemy individuals are all people, with a moral right to the same justice as citizens. You liken the army to a police force. As a pacifist, I support the introduction of a system of international law equipped to bring wrongdoers to justice wherever they are found.
Police act within the law.
You insist that soldiers are reluctant fighters. We must take stronger police-style action far earlier because we cannot act violently against a state. It is the war-ist whose arsenal encourages him to be intolerant and complacent. You can always use violence to drive them away. But we know people will suffer and die in this process, and more problems result.
