Again you are sidestepping the issue .
You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their religion because of their service , would you send them ?
You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their health and come back as cripples because of their service , would you send them ?
keep in mind that neither [religion and health] are a result of any enemy actions , both are the result of internal army structure and command
If you could honestly answer both of those two questions …. without extra commentary.
