All is Vanity See other All is Vanity Articles Title: The Real Purpose of the Military A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. - Cicero Military officer: You're under arrest! Lincoln: What?? I'm King Lincoln! Officer: Not any more. You're not even President. Lincoln: What's the charge? Officer: Treason. Lincoln: What? Officer: The military is to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. You're a domestic enemy. Lincoln: What are you going to do, hang me? Officer: And turn you into a martyr? I don't think so. You can spend ten years in prison thinking about your crimes. When you truly repent and give a public announcement, then you'll be released. Lincoln: This is outrageous! Officer: No, it's patriotism. Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest! Military officer: You're under arrest!
