Robert LeFevre wrote: "Thus, when men turn to government in an effort to overcome weakness and to obtain protection, the strength desired is found in compulsive unity. Government, inherently, places individualism at a low point on any scale of values. Individuals are the enemies of government. Government is inescapably concerned with unity. Individuals are the necessary victims."

This is why the Wholly Marines, like the Sikhs, are sovereign individuals. It is not about taking power, it is about not saying, "I'm weak. I need some arbitrary power to handle my problems for me." IT's about taking the challenges FSM gives you and not passing them off on others.
