Sigh, sorry, I've been posting for the past month on a forum that has almost no organization at all, so my indignant post about Saddam came fromt here. Anyhoo, I was just thinking about the impact of your philosophy. That is, if everyone were to take that view, we'd have an even larger, more sickeningly powerful military filled with very disciplined, very happy, but inevitably, ignorant folks. These folks could be easily exploited as they have comitted themselves to this army. This is no attack on you, but I am just pointing out the lack of any universality in your ideal.
