Mukesh Barnwal

“Loyalty (..) is a psychological way of enslavement. (..) it destroys intelligence. (..) The army works in such a way as to create loyalty; it starts with small things. One wonders why every soldier for years has to do parades and follow stupid orders—left turn, right turn, go backward, go forward—for hours, for no purpose at all. But there is a hidden purpose in it. His intelligence is being destroyed. (..) So when the order comes, "Left turn," the mind does not ask why. (..) the soldier is not supposed to doubt, to inquire; he simply has to follow. This is his basic conditioning for loyalty. (..) they function like machines, not like men.”
