Veterans Day – Advice for Life: The Soldier

The duties that a soldier performs are not for his own interests, but rather are intended to benefit the entire army as well as the people it is charged to protect.

For this reason, the soldier must comply with every order, without thought as to whether it is essential or not, for only the commander-in-chief understands the importance of all the details of the military strategy, and only he determines what is important and what is trivial.

The analog in terms of our service of G-d is self-understood.
