    with respect… cease to honor the sacrifice of your soldiers, and you will cease to have soldiers.

    Cease to have soldiers, and you will cease to have a nation.

    Without soldiers you will cease to have an empire, you may cease to have a sovereign state, but the nation endures.

    I hope fervently to outlive the concept of state sovereignty, and I won’t be sorry to outlive the concept of nations.

    So, if you want to frighten me, that sentimental abstraction won’t do the trick, though you’re welcome to try another.

    Are enlistments really motivated by the expectation that one’s neighbors will honor one’s sacrifice?
