Wrong. Judiciary only interprets the laws. Are the judges going to go out and enforce the laws themselves? No. They don't have their own police force either. Their job is to interpret the laws and regulations to see if they comply with the Constitution. All they do is give their judgement on those views. It is up to the executive branch to make sure they are being enforced. I suggest you read early American history, because there have been plenty of times, namely Andrew Jackson and others, that outright ignored decisions of the Supreme Court and federal appellate courts in order to accomplish his agenda.

As in engaging in physical confrontation in order to defend your freedoms and beliefs.

It depends on the cause they are fighting for. But obviously it is worth it to them. Is there something wrong with giving up your live so that other people may live in a more secure land? There is no doubt sacrifice is needed.

Plenty. China on two occasions have threatened to start war in the past 5 years. North Korea and Iraq also. There are alot of enemies of America, and they aren't just terrorist groups either. To think otherwise is very naive.

You really don't get it do you? Hitler didn't do it by himself, nor should you believe that those soldiers did it only because they were acting out orders. Hitler did it because he was able to get people united BEHIND him. The army wasn't already organized, HE organized it, and then mobilized it. You see, any group of people can organize themselves with the purpose of physical confrontation and call it a militia. You get militias together, and you have an army. That's exactly how this country made an army to fight for independence. The only way Hitler would have been a sad little man is if Germany wasnt so vulnerable at the time. To think if you get rid of all the armies of the world and think there would be peace is incredibly naive.
