^I think that the point was that the only way to keep your weapons/armor is to die in battle. If a soldier died off the battlefield they would practice skylephse, and take their weapons/armor. Therefore most of the soldier's Nico summons are aactual veterans rather than tributes or off-duty or whatever else you were saying they could be.

Not to mention that doing what your told is what most soldiers do. Doesn't change what is good and what is bad. That's like saying hit (wo)men aren't murdering they are just 'doing what they are told'. Although this train of thought this brings up a heavily debated political topic: Are soldiers murderers? Lol I'm trying super hard to word these post in a way that stay away from my personal beliefs.
