There's a certain ambiguity in making ones own decisions. The consequences of getting it wrong can be frightening before the fact and exhausting after the fact. Some people fundamentally doubt their own agency...and while I find it difficult to believe that anyone could be so incompetent...maybe they know themselves better, maybe they are.
I still can't rate it any higher than a child's fear of responsibility, regardless. That's just my opinion.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
