"Military Professionalism" Men who adopt the profession of arms submit their own free will to a law of perpetual constraints of their own accord. They resist their right to live where they choose, to say what they think, to dress as they like. It needs but an order to settle them from their families and dislocate their normal lives. In the world of commands, they must rise, march, run, endure bad weather, and go out without sleep or food, be isolated in some distant post, work until they drop. They have ceased to become masters of their own fate. If they drop on their tracks, their ashes shall be scattered in the four winds, that is all part and parcel of their job.
