All dead soldiers are murdered, or die in accidents, or die to old age. In all regards: they die... and duty demands they die for their country. They are bound to this duty until the state, or the self, decrees that they are no longer soldiers.

This is an utterly stupid statement, especially the words which I have bolded.

I refer you to General Patton's very sensible summary of a soldier's duty.

The good soldier is not the guy who dies for his country. The good soldier is the guy who makes the other poor bastard die for his country.

The man you have been dies the moment that you take that oath: you now belong to your state, mind and body... you are become a tool to be used.

Otherwise, you are not a soldier... you are just a man, outfitted to kill or to maintain, but with his own will. Every soldier has died, or they a soldier are not. It's that simple
