The military is an extension of the government. SF is a fist or a glove to be called upon by whoever happens to be the Commander in Chief. It is not a soldier job to decide if orders are right or wrong. The soldier's job is to complete the mission assigned regardless of personal feelings and to bring as many of his fellow solders home as possible. To paraphrase an old saying "yours is not to reason why, yours is but to do or die". Otherwise, stay the hell away from the military.
