Nothing like a quarter of your country being too stupid to realize it's actions are suicidal and another quarter gleefully suicidal.
Where humanity goes war shall follow. It is our curse.
The peaceniks are the ultimate immoral people because they either render society unable to confront the challenges it must or let other better people die fighting their battles.
