I'll translate:
You tried to use Orwell to illustrate some flabby pacifist crapola, and now that you are unmasked as a dilettante, you retreat, posting childish references to "militarism."
Orwell was enough of a man to know that sometimes you have to fight evil to ensure that peace is possible. He backed up his ideas with active military service. So did I. We earned the right to speak.
Have you? Or are you one of those who enjoys the blessings of liberty and freedom, while expressing contempt for those who defend those blessings? I suspect the latter -- speaking of selfishness and deceit...

Re: militarism vs pacifism - I return to my earlier response:
That you prefer to defend militarism and Orwellian exploitation by using ad hominem attacks buttressed by silly and irrelevant quotations is telling by itself. Orwell's Big Brother would be proud.
