>  I don’t completely trust military organizations, because they tend to put duty before moralityAh, first, a duty flows from a moral position, so perhaps the master misspoke. Second, I submit you can strongly trust military organizations to do their duty. They will stop at nothing to kill their enemies with extreme prejudice. And the people who lead military organizations, in most cases, have thought quite long and hard about their moral positions. It is the nature of the business, when sending people to die, to question everything about yourself.Now, that doesn't mean war is a civilized affair. It is awful, insane. And I frankly don't know a lot of senior military leaders who have ever been eager to go to war, except in cases where they believed the operation truly met the standards of jus ad bellum. What you often find in histories are senior officers getting replaced when their advice to not enter war is not in line with the positions of their civilian leadership.
