Only single mothers should be allowed to vote because without them the Republic collapses. Sometimes there is a long line at the welfare office and family court and it takes courage and determination to stand there, something Jocko would understand quite well. There are battles on the battlefield, but the real warriors post pictures of their children on facebook.

No way in without honorable discharge.

Needs to be both military service and land ownership after.

The military pension should be sufficient for the soldier-citizen to buy himself a modest property at least.

That's how the Romans did it.

Praetors had to provide for their Legions to own a little farmstead upon completion of twenty years service.

This is how I have tried to live my life, and for me personally it all worked out.

Contract of unlimited liability; fulfilled.

The problem is simply that I am massively outvoted by a buncha left wing kooks who desire a communist people's republic.

What do you think about his idea of recruiting to the officer corps only from the enlisted ranks?

I think in the novel you had to be a corporal before you could get tapped for officer training programs.

Tho I was a barracks room lawyer, I did in the end respect the officer elite.

In the Royal Canadian Infantry Corps of yore, they did train them so hard, to such a high standard, that they were elite.

I did pass my Sergeant's course at a very young age, but the kids who passed the platoon commanders course at that age were better than me.

The NCO impulse is to look to the welfare of the platoon, narrow view, the officer is the guy who has to think about the big picture and sacrifice the platoon if that is what the mission requires

The kids in the Canadian Army who were dedicated enough to be platoon commanders, they were like the young stars in hockey.

They were franchise players, at eighteen years of age.

To be an NCO, you're like a role player, you're never going to be Wayne Gretzky.

Your job is to tuck in behind the Great One and make room for him to score the goals.

It's a noble profession mind you.

Serving as an NCO was a privilege. A dream come true.

I never wanted to be the platoon commander, that's an island, you're never one of the boys.

I wanted to be one of the boys, it's lonely being the platoon commander.

That's why these kids were elite, they shouldered a burden above and beyond, they embraced the lonely island.

48. All of the White nations of the earth – from antiquity to the recent past – possess the most magnificent histories, customs, and traditions of their own equal to the best that Germany has. All branches of the White Race have great cause to be proud of their own heritage…so long as that great heritage is made known to them.
49. National Socialists on the other hand view life – personal experience – as representing a link in a great chain; a chain existing back into the limitless past and forward into the limitless future.
50. Those National Socialists who don’t need the leverage of “heaven” and “hell,” don’t need to be frightened or induced into any pattern of behavior, but who have it in
themselves to think and act in an honorable way independently, will be those who take command of the future, if there is to be one.
51. This means taking the youth firmly in hand raising them up in the manner that
our ideology commands so as to achieve the ever-more-perfect Race and State in the shortest possible time.
