    My opinion is that your work was very unethical from the get-go

    Calling any form of military “unethical” is the absolute peak level of clueless wishful thinking.

      Sorry, I’m not sure I’m familiar with this particular school of moral philosophy. What’s it called? Bootlicking?

        It’s called “not being an idiot and realising you not having military doesn’t protect you from the despot one border over who does”. You should read up on it.

          Hmm, but if I’m conquered by the despot one border over, then I suppose I’d have to start supporting his military, wouldn’t I? After all, I’d be an idiot to not support the only people protecting me my despot from the other despot one border over, right?

            I guess you would just take the moral high ground, and allow anyone to take whatever is yours.

              Or I’d have to support people who actually fight for my interests instead of blindly licking boots and rallying around a flag while dismissing all criticism because “the military is inherently moral.”

              Your position can’t withstand even the slightest degree of scrutiny, lol. As expected of a bootlicker.

                1. I never said anything even remotely similar to “the military is inherently moral”. Is moral of you to put words in others’ mouths?
                2. Military in normal countries is used in times of peace to help fighting natural disasters, like floods. I don’t see that as immoral. Do you?

        I agree in principle. But in reality, as long as someone has military, everybody has to have it too.
