What would you say if the soldier was a robot, with "AI" making its own decisions on who to kill, and when, and for what?

That "far off future" is no longer a philosophical question, it is here, now ... or at least within five years.

So I think you better rethink your idea of valor and patriotism....because the AI robot doesn't care, and it can probably kill a hundred of our BEST and BRAVEST soliders in a few seconds, without breaking a sweat.

Your "soldier" was always always more of an ideal than a reality -- because every human is different, and not an ideal, But, in any case, your "soldier" is going to be completely obsolete come tomorrow. Denying reality doesn't change that reality.

I'm interested in your thoughtful reply/rebuttal of my concern.

The Soldier

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."
