Naive is a good way of wording it, though I will say their stance on pacifism extends only as far as alchemy and its uses are concerned. Basically, they believe it shouldn't be weaponized, much less at the whims of anyone but the alchemist themselves - we can join the military all we want; it's the State Alchemist title that tends to be a point of contention.
As it is, our country hasn't known peace in my lifetime, nor did it know peace in the previous generation's lifetime. We're rather aware of how war works.
