“War is a dreadful thing, and I can respect an honest pacifist, though I think he is entirely mistaken, What I cannot understand is this sort of semi-pacifism you get nowadays which gives people the idea that though you have to fight, you ought to do it with a long face and as if you were ashamed of it.”
- C.S. Lewis
No, but if you join the military out of bloodlust or begin to see the job of fighting as more than a job to slog through, then you may have a problem.
I’m a guy, so I totally get the warrior impulse, but like many of our baser instincts, it’s probably not something to ideally be encouraged.
