There is a time to think and question, and a time not to.
Or, as the Bible might have put it, a time to think, a time to obey.
During war, in a uniform, is a time not to think but to obey automatically.
During peacetime, when rights are under attack, is a time not to obey automatically, but to think.
These two options, of course, are not intended to cover all alternatives. But they cover the two we were talking about her -- the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Californians, Tear Down those Flags. |
