Henry James' Quotation

This quotation shows that one is brought up or,influenced from a small child with the false belief that all men are equal. This quotation also shows that agreeing with society is not easy to accept or master. A "volunteer in his green and salad days is among the worst known" shows that a volunteer that is a rookie has not yet understood that all men are not equal because they have not been around people with ranks their whole lifetime. When a rookie is told orders they think are unethical and harsh because they do not understand authority, they could blow up and attack the officer who gave him the orders and be sentenced to be executed like Bennett Story Greene.
