Q

“MEN WHO ADOPT the profession of arms submit of
their own free will to a law of perpetual constraint. Of
their own accord, they reject their right to live where
they choose, to say what they think, to dress as they
like. From the moment they become soldiers, it needs
but an order to settle them in this place, to move them
to that, to separate them from their family and
dislocate their normal lives, in the world of command,
they must rise, march, run, endure bad weather, go
without sleep or food, be isolated in some distant post,
work until they drop. They have ceased to be the
masters of their fate. If they drop in their tracks, if their
ashes are scattered to the four winds, that is all part
and parcel of their job.”
