"If a soldier is willing to kill without being willing to die, then his killing will never be of use in a pitched battle, when it needs to be, as the threat of his death will run him off. In the opposite case, he has no fear of the battlefield, but neither will he last long upon it, which does little to lead to victory. And both conditions ignore the importance that a soldier also be willing to push himself to survive a forced march to arrive at that battle, watchful so as to avoid ambush, willing to take the time to know both enemy and friend so that he strikes the right one, and a host of other needs. "It seems to me, then, that it is most important that a soldier be willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill his duty to protect and serve."</blockquote>
