Sometimes there's only one option.
There has not been a war in the last 100 years that was the only choice left.
By your definitions anyone who's not a total pacifist is a psychopath.
I'm not even saying only "pacifists", but everyone who are executioners of a politic war machine are definitely psycopathic. They have no care for life. They are heartless, and a very big part of the problem. Now, for those that were executioners but truly regret, then, no, they're not psycopaths.
Pacifism is great in an ideal world, but currently it's not practical.
It's very practic, way more practic than a militarist world, but it's not going to happen. It's not pragmatic.
Of course it does. How would it not? If someone is going to die without you, and someone else dies because you helped them, it all goes to 0.
Killing means taking a life away. Saving doesn't mean giving a life, it means holding a life.
