On Being a Military Officer

Being a rank and fire soldier is not really my thing. Bottom ranks in the military have to go through too much physically exhausting work, for that to appeal to me.

However, there is some appeal in the discipline and order of the military. Nonetheless what I want is not to be a working part of it, but rather command over it.

Back in the childhood I actually wanted to be a captain of the Cardinal's Guards. I was still too young to understand the kind of authority Cardinal himself or a King have. However, it was clear to me that Captain of the Guards, d'Jussac, is the boss on the battlefield. Particularly in that horse chase segment in the middle of the show. I wanted to be like him and command people.

Theoretically military accepts recruitments from the rank of lieutenant, but I am not sure if just a bachelor's degree is enough for that. Then I can get promoted to captain and eventually a General.
