 Military Professionalism
"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 families and
dislocate their normal lives.
In the world of command,
they must rise, march, run,
endure bad weather, go
without food and sleep, be
isolated in some distant post,
and work until they drop.
They have cease to be the
masters of their own fate. If
they drop on their tracks and
their ashes are scattered in
the four winds that is all part
and parcel of their job."
 Pledge of Loyalty
“If you work for a man in
heavens name, work for
him, speak well of him and
standby the institution he
represents. Remember, an
ounce of loyalty is worth a
pound of cleverness. If you
must growl, condemn, and
eternally find fault, why
resign your position. And in
the outside damn to your
hearts content.
But as long as you are
part of this institution, do
not condemn it. If you
do, the first high wind
that comes along will
blow you away and
probably you will never
know why.”
