Heading back to the original topic - why would anybody be a soldier?

The prussian king Frederic (the old Fritz himself, the Soldatenkoenig), is credited with saying:

If soldiers started to think, not one would remain in the army.

If I take another favorite saying into account - Wars are always fought by young boys for old men. - I too would expect a far more hands-off approach in aldmeri domination-politics. Let the stupid short-lived and hot-blooded races fight the wars and the old, cold aldmeri swordsmen win the duels.
