  • Yes I agree, it has been easier for the US to go to war since 1945 and most of these wars have been problematic. There is also a stupid military patriotism in the US population which makes heroes out of anyone who "serves." It is also a big part of the US economy, and the welare system. But I don't think that all Americans are in general "kriegslustig", just waiting for an excuse to start bombing some country. War is seen as one possibility of dealing with a situation. It's possible to change one's opinion about having a war when the goals of the war are not achievable. A pacifist, on the other hand, is against all war and cannot have another opinion about war and still be a pacifist. You are suggesting that a person can either be a/a pacifist, or b/kriegslustig, but not a mixture of both? Or do you mean Germans are pacifists and Americans are krieglustig, by nature? By the way I don't come from the US, or the EU.
