Well, there is the old G.I. saying, "Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do or die".
No army throughout history would have been successful had the soldiers not automatically obeyed orders and carried them out as best as they could.
Of course, I think most soldiers are taught this kind of obedience rather than born with it. And, as they rise through the ranks, they are put into positions where they have to make some very difficult decisions.
How many of you would want to be General Tommy Franks for a day?
