Old Soldiers - David Weber
All Designs , writings and illustrations or pictures are created by me,unless clearly specified otherwise, most of this stuff is hardly what you may call personal, in a way they are a portrait of how i see daily life, and what goes on in my head, which on the other hand make them quite intimate, some could call this some sort of an exhibition for my combined creative media, i personally think of it as a book. I am sometimes labeled as "morbid", you have been warned!

couldn't have said it better...
"A good military officer, just as a good governor or head of state, requires that habit. He—or she—can't do his job properly without the inner assurance that when he gives an order, or issues a directive, it will be obeyed. The problem comes, Captain Trevor, when that assurance becomes so much a part of him, and such a comfortable fit, that his authority seems inevitable to him. It's not necessarily that he's evil, or that he suffers from power madness or megalomania. It's just that he sees so clearly what 'has to be done,' and since he's grown accustomed to being the primary problem solver, it's axiomatic that it's his job to see to it that it gets done. It simply stops occurring to him to consider that there might be another way to do it, or that perhaps the people around him don't even agree that it needs to be done in the first place. When that happens, the people who argue with him may become part of the problem, as far as he's concerned. They're keeping him from doing his job, so he . . . removes them. "
