Subject: RE: BS: Parental reaction to Viet Nam protests
It's way too long to quote here, but try Christine de Pizan's The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry (Penn State Press, 1999) discussion of war -- Part I, chapter II ff. in my copy (Sumner Willard translation -- I can't read 15th Century French!). Even in 1410 a distinction was made between fighting in defense of yourself and your country and wars of aggression.
