This is the greatest fear for every frontline soldier. On the battlefield, their primary concern isn't death—it's whether they'll have a good commander.
As the saying goes, "A brave soldier fights alone; a brave commander leads an entire battalion." If your superior is an incompetent fool, even the best elite troops can be completely ruined under his command. Conversely, under the leadership of a peerless general or an unparalleled talent, even a mediocre unit can be transformed into a force with the spirit of champions.
Soldiers aren't truly unafraid of death; it's their trust in their commander's tactical abilities that allows them to entrust their fate to such hands. But to take control of one's fate ultimately conjures a timeless saying: "A soldier who doesn't aspire to be a general is not a good soldier." Only by becoming a general can one possess the power to turn the tides.
Across the world, every soldier has heard these words, yet only a rare few ever rise to such heights.
