Coming from the perspective of someone who accepts the following as part of his world view:
- The principal of non-aggression
- Virtues exist (corollary to that, evil acts and ideas exist as well)
- Any idea taken to sufficient extreme can be abhorrent
I'd be interested in exploring the idea that my worldview is wrong in some way. 'Enlightened self-interest' is mentioned in the article and is associated with a sneer. The idea is put forward that the Army is not acting exclusively in its self-interest when training, paying, and feeding the Soldier. This may not be the appropriate forum, but could you expand on these premises? I'd genuinely like to explore this.
