You remind of a story from the WW2 era.

A German intellectual cuts out in 1935 and comes to America. He's kinda famous, so he gets a newspaper interview. He proudly proclaims that he considers himself a pacifist.

A letter to the editor points out that it's easy to call yourself a pacifist when you've got an ocean between you and the war.
