Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt believed the military was a noble path. At Nuremberg, when asked why he continued to serve after learning the atrocities of the German Reich, he asserted Prussians don't mutiny!

Essentially, he was glad to be a loyal machine that completes a task, rather than someone who stands for principle.

But then when honor doesn't compel us to operate the Death Star's superlaser for the Galactic Emperor, money will, and if not that, extortion.
