Moral muteness in time of war

One of my referrers hit a post from six months ago that I had forgotten. It's time to read it again and refresh my memory, not to convince myself but to help me remember that powerful piece of discussion in the war resistor's toolbox. I blog it here for your general information.

Notice: the post is long and convoluted, and the links to First Things and Commonweal are even longer and more convoluted. But, hey! Getting out of college or grad school is just as bad. Most really worthwhile subjects take work.
Go read, if you have the time and stamina.
