Soldiers, sailors and airmen: these words you must consider
thoughtfully, for your own sake as well as for the sake of mankind
generally.
First, let me assure you that there is no more risk of being killed or maimed in the army, navy or air service than there is in any so-called peaceful occupation.

Failing to do your natural duty is a bad action that is punishable by a bad reaction. The cowardly wretch who, under one pretense or another, refuses to fight to protect his own freedom as well as the freedom of his associates or descendants eventually deteriorates into the slave and footstool of the dominant dictator who WILL fight to enslave him.
