Schofield's Definition of Discipline - answerThe discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and to give commands in such a manner and such a tone of voice to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. Major General John M. Schofield, in an address to the corps of cadets, August 11, 1879. Definition of Leather - answerIf the fresh skin of an animal cleaned and divested of all hair,fat and other extraneous matter be immersed in a dilute solution of tannic acid, a chemical combination ensues, the gelatinous tissue of the skin is converted into a non-putrescible substance, impervious to an insoluble in water, this is leather. Worth's Battalion Orders - answerBut an officer on duty knows no one - to be partial is to dishonor both himself and the object of his ill-advised favor. What will be thought of him who exacts of his friends that which disgraces him? Look at him who winks at and overlooks offenses in one, which he causes to be punished in another, and contrast him with the inflexible soldier who does his duty faithfully, notwithstanding it occasionally wars with his private feelings. The conduct of one will be venerated and emulated, the other detested as a satire upon soldiership and honor. Cadet Creed - answerAs a future officer, I am committed to the values of duty, honor, country. I am an aspiring member of the Army profession, dedicated to serve and earn the trust of the American people. It is my duty to maintain the honor of the corps. I will live above the common level of life and have the courage to choose the harder right over the easier wrong.
