Over half of the anti-war pacifist of the late 1930's ended up joining the war against Hitler, who was anti-socialist. Even the great pacifist Albert Einstien understood that pacifism is an ideal, not a reality.
I wouldn't choose the word "impossible" personally. I think pacifism is a noble ideology, but the world isn't an ideal place. Reality makes a lot of noble ideologies worthless, wreckless, or irresponsible.
I was in the military, it wasn't an option.
