OPERATIONAL IMPERATIVE
“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 eat what they want, to dress as
they like. From the moment they become soldiers, it
needs but an order to settle them from this place, to
move them to that, to separate from their families and
dislocate their normal lives. In the world of command,
they must rise, march, run, endure bad weather, go
even without food and sleep, and be isolated in some
distant post. They cease to be the masters of their
own fate. If they drop on their tracks and their ashes
are scattered in the four winds, it is part and parcel of
their job.”
