Of course thinking is permitted, as long as it's only about minute stuff such as in what order to shoot the people charging at you, or sometimes more advanced tactics if you're an officer. Moral judgment is only a liability, though, and is not allowed at all. This is only implicit in the enlistment form, but it's there.

but the way you do it is quite a bit up to you. It's more effective this way. IIRC this was first adopted by German army in WW2 - I have a book about the development of military stuff at home burt I tend to forget the details.

But whatever you do agree with when enlisting, don't know the text - it definitely doesn't contain to 'die so that Haliburton may live and get tons of profit'. *L*
