Abstract
I am a pacifist by spiritual conviction, but I also come from a military family, and I respect the mission of warriors, our military brothers and sisters. Several years ago, I was invited to attend the 50th National Security Seminar of the War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, located just 28 miles from the fields of the Battle of Gettysburg, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. Casualties are estimated at 50,000 in a three-day war with 7,058 killed and one civilian accidentally shot, Jennie Wade. She was making bread in her kitchen. She is remembered and honored to this day.
