The military must always act as an ambassador for the state.

What do you think? The actions of a nation’s military always reflect on the state. Is that a good thing?

Soldiers must maintain their professionalism at all times. This is key to maintaining both the army’s operational effectiveness and its reputation. By maintaining this professionalism and high standards, the Army should be a positive ambassador for the country at all times.
