Vous vous posez trop de questions. En acceptant d’être officier vous acceptez les ordres même s’ils sont contre votre morale. Regardez-moi. Je suis Général, j’ai deux étoiles sur les épaules, j’ai 30 ans de carrière, j’ai droit de vie et de mort. Je suis à la merci du 1er politicien qui me dit de sauter, je saute. Comme vous le ferez demain. C’est ça, être un soldat. Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir être un soldat? Philippe, c’est la seule question que vous devez vous poser.
You ask too many questions. By agreeing to be an officer you are agreeing to follow orders, even if they are against your morals. Look at me. I am General, I have two stars on his shoulders, I have 30 years of career, I have the right of life and death. I am at the mercy of the first politician who tells me to jump, and I jump. As you will do, tomorrow. This is what being a soldier means. Are you sure you want to be a soldier? Philippe, that is the only question you need to ask yourself.
