According to your own definition of your spiritual dimension, what is your stance on pacifism?
Meanwhile, this from CNN:
"Non-military households would pay a "war tax" to help cover the health care of veterans of newly-authorized wars under a plan Beto O'Rourke's campaign unveiled Monday."
Does that strike you as a thought provoking proposal?
If so, what thoughts does it provoke?

That is a really interesting proposal, honestly...
I do believe that it is sweet & proper to fight & die for your country (Horace paraphrase). However, it should only be done when necessary.
The necessity of war is a very difficult question...
For instance, wars have been fought to acquire resources and acquire lands in order to better protect oneself from already powerful people, and in one sense, these can be thought of as wars of self-preservation through the expansion of power. It creates a real fish eat fish world where you want to grow up to be the biggest fish as soon as possible so you can theoretically stop worrying so much about your potential doom.
What has largely saved us from this, I think, has been the marketplace. But that has created its own sets of problems, and perhaps has resulted in a monopolar world.
