The military person is trained, from day one, to trust their leaders and believe what they are being told. In the military, believing what one is told is the first step in obeying orders. If a military person is told that they must kill the enemy in combat and is also told that if they serve for 20 years in the military and retires they will receive free medical care for themselves and their eligible dependents at military treatment facilities for as long as they and their eligible dependents live, should they believe the one thing they are told and disbelieve the other? I trusted and respected my military and elected leaders. I believed what I was told and I believed what I was promised. They, my leaders, could and did depend on me. I never let them down. I never reneged on my promise.
