From the first world war to the invasion of Iraq, left-wing soldiers have questioned our involvement in wars. Yet we rarely hear these dissenting veteran’s voices.
because it’s stupid, pacifism doesn’t lead to less war, it leads to more suffering
it’s the equivalent of saying don’t stand up to your bully just let him get away with it, in the end you lose and suffer more

You’ve confised self dence and pacislfism, they are not the same thing. A pacifist will always supoort self defence, like the Palestinians in Gaza,.the Houthi are the only onea defemding them, Ukrianians againt Russia
Australian’s in Turkey, or in Vietnam or Malaysia etc not so much.

So you’re argument is that indigenous Australia’s should stull be fightibg against the invasion ? I can onky agree.
There was a quote by Geronimo who said his biggest mistake was giving up, he said they should have fought on, even if they all died.

October 7 was not self defense.
Out of the conflicts Australia has fought in, I can only think of one or two involving any threat to us.
