A soldier, of course, always fights to win. That's his job.

When should he look beyond his job at the larger implications of the war he's fighting in? That is a difficult question.

Soldiers who do look beyond their job and decide that they are serving a wrongful cause are usually called deserters and traitors if they press their point. Sometimes they are shot for it.

We applaud their actions when they're on "the other side" and make them into heroes. We execute them for those actions when they're on "our side" and make them into traitors.

How many humans actually think outside their tribal/cultural box and how many just react to a predetermined script that someone handed them? Does freedom really mean "freedom for all people" or does it just mean "freedom to do things OUR way"?
