>A soldier has to follow whatever orders he's given. It's not his place to question why. But you're looking for a reason to fight. You're a natural born fighter, but you're not quite a soldier. A solider is a political tool, nothing more. That's doubly true if he's a career soldier. Right and wrong have no place in his mission. He has no enemies and no friends. Only <The Mission>. You follow the orders you're given. That's what being a soldier is all about.

he thought that the reason The Boss agreed to sacrifice both her life and professional reputation in Operation Snake Eater was because she had given up on fighting, because the world was moving on from soldiers and war, into a world where battles are fought by intelligence services and proxies. but fighting was the only thing that mattered to him, and he viewed The Boss walking away from the fight as a personal betrayal as well. so he decided that he would create a world of endless war, where soldiers would always be needed, and would also be free to fight for whatever cause they wanted to instead of having some suits or glowies dictating what they fight or die for.
