The military does not want robots. If I'm given orders, I'll carry them out. But in the case of helping a country, that puts you and your men and risk, you would like a little recognition. Its good for morale for one thing, and reinforces the 'do-good' mentality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bn880 5 Posted September 28, 2002 I'm so happy I brought you two closer together! You can question, but when you are in the service, you really have to follow those pesky orders.
