Service is a deceptively profound way to prove not only what you can do for the world, but what you can tell the world to expect from you and your ambitions.

People think of the military as being about guns and fighting wars, but it's really about service to country and community.

I think service is honorable, and that was always inculcated in me.

Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

Soldiering is a very important profession, is it not?

I've served my country.

The point of serving your country is not to do your own thing or to go rogue, but to work as part of the process.

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.

Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.
