"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. .11ii 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. "
