Actually, bb, I am not Quaker. In fact, I would kill in self defense or to protect my children. I would not, however, kill children who are not attacking me. To justify killing children who are already being abused by the enemy is hard to fathom. I don't think the "greatest good" philosophy applies to killing. If so, Hitler could have justified the holocaust because he thought it was for the "greatest good." Morality is subjective but I definitely draw the line at killing innocent children.
