In reading Deuteronomy 20 in a section entitled 'Going to War' I wonder how many soldiers actually took this advice before fighting in any battles. What would happen to the military of today were posed these situations like "if you built a new house make sure you live in it', if you planted a crop make sure you enjoy what you grew, and if you pledged to a woman make sure to marry her before going to war and letting someone else enjoy the fruits of your labor and not you. Now I know why the military asks for volunteers.
