Why Latin? If our boys and girls in uniform are that proud of their philosophy, shouldn't they be happy to proclaim it in the vernacular? Come to think about it, why pussy-foot around with genteel Latinisms like "fornicate" when the Anglo-Saxon is so much more soldier-like? Wasn't publicly-funded sex education supposed to get us past all those euphemisms and hangups? What're the taxpayers getting for their money, anyway?
