The term "anti-war" is used primarily to indicate political opposition to America's war aims, notably during the Vietnam War and the invasion of Iraq. While reminiscent of pacificism, the "anti-war" movement is not opposed to war per se, but only America's involvement in it.
Often overlooked by anti-war activists is that the American military is volunteer today, and service is not compulsory.
So-called "anti-war activists" are content to let foreign governments invade other countries and slaughter or enslave innocent people, as long as the United States isn't involved.
