...remember that a citizen military, that is draftees and reservists, is characteristic of Republics.

Cincinnatus hears that he's needed and casts his plow aside; that's a long way from Rome's leaders saying: "No sweat, when we need him that turkey'll volunteer...."

Okay, FReeper artists: we need some dishrags and kaffiyehs on these PepBoy heads:

Y'know... take the one in the middle and make a few subtle changes (move the part in his hair to the side, erase the smile, make moustache a bit more prominent), and *presto!* - Saddam Hussein! Perhaps the other two could be styled as bin Laden and Arafat. :-)

Personally, I avoid Pep Boys because I detest parts counter clerks who give me the "thousand-yard stare". Also, a real auto parts store has a rack of grease-smudged parts books on the counter, not a computer terminal.

We have all experienced this. Our sacrifice held as nothing important, just cogs in the machine, and we are left with nothing but the purity of our hearts and the memories of the dead.
