In volunteering for military service, the individual accepts the surrender of his basic rights under
Article 3 and places his life, liberty and security of person in the hands of the State. This surrender
is not unconditional, though
in extremis,
it is absolute. The State, for its part, accepts the obligation
to preserve, as far as is consistent with the achievement of the military mission, the physical and spiritual wellbeing of such individuals who place themselves at its disposal. This obligation extends beyond the period of service itself, to the physical and psychological consequences of that service. Even when the State demands surrender of these rights by imposing a compulsion for service, the terms of the social contract imply that such compulsion is done only within the democratic framework and is therefore with the assent of the individual, who at all times is party to it. In no other calling, occupation or profession has the State the power to accept or demand the surrender of these rights. Military service in this fundamental respect is unique, and the obligation this places on the State is inescapable, as it is enduring.
A service person’s calling is unique.
