I never would have thought that "anti-killing-people" would be a controversial position to take, but here we are.

My ancestors since the 1700s were part of a pacifist tradition so I'm well aware of how controversial it is lol

Does that pacifist tradition have a name, or better yet a Wikipedia page?

They were Mennonites who initially migrated largely due to increasing mandatory conscription in the Russian Empire (now Ukraine), a lot of them went to Weimar Republic then to Canada, so really good timing. In WW2 they were contentious objectors and were conscripted to civilian service, which apparently my grandpa loved.

Other side were Merchant Navy marines and got royally fucked after the war, those vets weren't even recognized for their service until the 90s.
