Throughout history - all cultures have had duty - in order for the group, and the individuals in the group to survive.
This duty comes in several forms.
- Day to day duties (job) - to keep the Indian Camp running smoothly.
- Above and Beyond duty in a short term survival situation (Heavy Lightning Storm or herd of buffalo rampaging directly towards the Indian Camp forcing quick movement of the full camp to safe ground) - 3 hours of haul-ass speed and duty. Anything you must do you do to pull all other group members up the hill and as many supplies as possible Up-The-Hill-To-SAFETY !
- Above and Beyond duty in a long term survival situation.
After these Above and Beyond situations have been safely handled.
The next phase is back to day to day duties - run the camp.
Plus Contact Alertness, Willingness, and Vigilance - a reorganize to watch for future possible threats to make sure you have better notification / alarm sounding
So a squaw - would clean clothes in the river, care for elderly, make meals, as day to day duties, plus would have a daily additional job - night watch on 3 hour shifts.
In America - the definition and expectation of it is higher than other countries.
All groups in world history, small or large have always had duty
Your raise your family in a city. Your have a job to make money to support your family - in a company residing in a state. You buy a house in a city. Your drive the streets of your city for shopping, supplies, medicine, family events.
And you perform your Duty to Support and Defend ALL THAT and MORE
Duty - That's the Deal.
It isn't volunteering. That has been a thing. Its something. But it isnt the thing anymore. That time has long past.
Duty is for every citizen. Not just the Military.
It is to be carried out by every citizen every week, for as long as is necessary to handle the threat.
Your on planet earth. Wherever you may be. Your rely for your survival on others -many many others. Your rely for your survival on many networks of food, water, supplies, heating and cooling and law enforcement.
You rely on the other guy - every single day for your survival. And your family's survival.
Your rely on all these networks - every single day for your survival. And your family's survival.
Your in America.
