Avoiding combat duty was and is an unforgivable sin for a professional soldier.
A 'sin' is something which is not necessary.
Every painful consequence of sin is a part of the punishment meted out for sin.

The only sin is mediocrity.
The only sin is ugliness, and if we believed this with all our being, all other activities of the human spirit could be left to take care of themselves.
