I swore an oath to defend the US Constitution against its enemies both foreign and domestic. That meant killing or dying as an American soldier. I have lost institutional trust in everything but the US military. I generally try to stay out of the way of generals and their decisions. I want more than most things for the president and the culture to do the same.

You should check out World Beyond War. They have a comprehensive, stepwise plan for an alternative global security system that does not require war, and robust arguments for peace. https://worldbeyondwar.org/

I've been impressed with that site as well...I've linked to it towards the end of the article!

What I love is how thorough they are. They don’t just say, “We shouldn’t have wars.” They’ve got detailed, practical plans for how to get there peacefully. Did you see they also have a lecture series coming up soon? I signed up. https://worldbeyondwar.org/unarmed-civilian-defense-an-online-course/
