Robert A. Heinlein Quote
Strictly speaking, the Patrol is not a military organization at all. Sir? I know, I know—you are trained to use weapons, you are under orders, you wear a uniform. But your purpose is not to fight, but to prevent fighting, by every possible means. The Patrol is not a fighting organization; it is the repository of weapons too dangerous to entrust to military men.
