In "The Patriot," Benjamin Martin, portrayed by Mel Gibson, is reluctant to fight due to his traumatic experiences in the French and Indian War, which left him wary of violence and its consequences. He prioritizes the safety and well-being of his family over the ideals of war, believing that engaging in conflict would only bring more suffering to those he loves. Martin's initial pacifism reflects his desire to protect his family from the horrors of war, making him hesitant to take up arms until circumstances force his hand.
