I've never been a pacifist.

I joined the Navy to help protect my country, and I'm proud of that fact. This does not mean I'm enough of a tool to go sailing off to war just because some politician broke out Ol' Glory and brass bands. The brain at the top of my spinal cord may not be as powerful as Einsteins, but I'm no dumbass either. I'll leave it to the types to which Einstein was referring to go fight the senseless wars.......
