William Lepidus

"Soldiers are going to get killed. When they join the Militia, they face that fact. When a man becomes a soldier, his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to fight that which threatened their way of life... their people's way of life, and got killed. Soldiers do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires."
