Writing Prompt 138
“Stand up, good, well done little one.” They swayed on their feet, barely conscious. “Just a few more times and then you can rest, doesn’t that sound good?” They mumbled a reply, barely aware of what was happening, only just able to follow orders.
If the person giving the orders is with you on the trail obey in every detail; but if alone, obey such part of the orders as seems right, following your judgment for the balance.

Writing Prompt 236
“Have you told them?” X asked, circling Y who stared at the wall straight ahead, not acknowledging them or their team. “Or did you ask your medic to keep it a secret? Show them now.” Y moved stiffly, following the orders unwillingly. They pulled up the side of their top. Over their right hip was a dressing. “Take it off.” Y’s hands started trembling as they pulled off the dressing, letting their team see the half healed burn marking them.
Drill is where you young children learn to obey orders, and then how to keep your bodies primed for the fight. You do not want to have an unhealthy mind in an unhealthy body if you intend to follow a military career. Some of you will not be used to the concept of obeying orders. We suggest that you forget that attitude as well. You cannot be trusted to issue orders unless you first understand the need to obey them.

The travelling salesman’s conundrum.
The travelling salesman’s conundrum.
I have been told that men are bad at taking hints. I have been present where we have discussed this sort of thing, and one school of thought points out that a hint is not an instruction. It is an intimation, a suggestion, and is always vague.

Caution 18: Armed and Thoughtful
“Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. (If you do not know what this means, contact the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and ask about training in professional ethics.)” –Timothy Snyder, Historian, Holocaust/Third Reich expert
Those in power wish very much to treat America’s armed public servants as an interest group. By glorifying and patronizing, they attempt to set law enforcement and military on one side, and America on the other. This is not necessarily an autocratic tactic – although autocrats love it – but it is a very American one.
To this, the final and essential defense is simple professional ethics. The motto “to serve and protect”….the oath to the Constitution….the moral decision to refuse an unjust order. That in the past they have often been honored more in the breach than in practice does not alter it. There is no substitute for the integrity of those who serve.
