Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

[Autumnlicious]

That's because soldiers are inherently immoral. If they sign up for killing people, what stretch is there to bullying, discrimination and intolerance?

Bullying, intolerance are uncontrollable and detrimental to the chain of command. As far as the chain of command is concerned, you do not eat, sleep or drink without being authorized, explicitly or implicitly.

Now, how far this is really believed?

Strangely, I feel that I have more faith in the Turkish military keeping secular than the US military being professional.
