Incredible response here...
Personally I'd view it as someone willing to die in the name of there cause but unwlling to kill in the name of it.

so in a sense, a white flag warrior is a martyr. but not a martyr that will harm others in their fight for what is right. they will use stragetic points in their duscussion, that are supported by facts an fueled by passion.

I think a White flag warrior is someone who cares for their cause and will protest and fight for it, but not physically, they will do it peacefully and verbally.

I think that the white flag warrior is more of a diplomat and a philanthropist, than an actual warrior or combatant.

It just sounds like an antiwar song to me. Not deep or profound, just against war.

I think Johnny5 said it best "A 'White Flag Warrior,' as we define it, is 'An individual who is committed to recognizing and affirming the humanity of all people, even in the most dire of circumstances.'"

to me a white flag warrior would be someone who fights for peace and not in war.

I think it is a lot harder to strive for peaceful solutions in a world where killing is as easy as the push of a button. It takes more courage to stare your enemy or oppressor in the face, and even figuring out how to do so takes lots of creativity and time and effort. Most go for the easy solution over the more noble, just, and appropriate one. I also feel that coming face to face would make killing much harder. A white flag warrior is not a coward or a quitter. The white flag could stand for "giving up" on the old methods that aren't working, and striving for new means to make the world a better place.
