Much love and respect. I quit a job over a similar matter of principle. The decision to walk was easy, but the following year wasn't.

I'm glad I did it though. We have to few years on this earth to spend our energies hurting others.

Don't you live in a nation state that uses violence to maintain the order that you've come to enjoy? Here's a harsh dose of reality for ya, suffering is unavoidable... the trick is convincing the worker class that it's easier to just cooperate

all suffering is equal in amount and necessity

therefore it makes no sense to consider one's own role in producing, mitigating, or directing suffering in the world

i am very smart

I've lived in a lot of places, many of them on the receiving end.

I'm from a western country originally though, sure. Can't think of any wars we've been in during my lifetime that have done me much good. All wars of choice and aggression.
