-Another time when people must obey orders is when the police are in charge somewhere, like at a crime scene. The cops could definitely hurt you, or even shoot you, if you disobey orders because you'd be counted as a threat of some sort. They could also add more charges to a criminal offense. Or if you were just a witness and you didn't listen, you could go to court or even jail.
-Military commanders have to discipline there soldiers to gain respect so that when a time of hardship (war, terror attacks, natural disasters, etc.) comes along, everyone will be in line. If the respect comes to late, then everything will be disorganized and the army will have a hard time pulling off a win.
-If everyone in the military is in line and working as one, everything will happen as its supposed to. Suppose you tossed one untrained person into war. They would not be working the same way everyone else was, because they don't know what to do. But if everyone does know what to do, then it should be all good.
-If the commander has no control over his troops and all organization is lost the group has a better chance of getting torn apart by enemy lines. They might be screaming and running all over the place doing stupid things, which could put everyone in danger. But, again, if the commander has everyone controlled, the war could run more smoothly.
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is about 600 soldiers who rode into battle, thinking they were unstoppable and immortal. They soon found out, though, that they were not. They arrived into battle, and men started going down all around. Finally, retreat was signaled. As they were retreating, even more fell. The dead were heros, as were the living. They were brave, but you'll need more than bravery to pull off a win. You're not the only brave ones. I'm sure the opposing side is brave as well, maybe even felt the same way the Light Brigade soldiers did, unstoppable. But that's just the adrenaline rush before war. Reality kicked in and they retreated, no longer 600 strong.
"1812 Overture" by Tchaikovsky
I believe the beginning sounded as if everyone was getting ready for battle, calmly riding to where it was going to be. The second part shows they are speeding up as they ride quicker and quicker into battle. The middle is actually quite peaceful, but it could also be that they started battle. The next part it starts speeding up again as if the battle was intensifying. Then it started to sound happy, is if the army was beginning to pull ahead in the battle. It sounded peaceful and victorious. It starts slowing down again as if the battle was beginning to end. Then it seemed as if it ended and the soldiers were gathering themselves, checking the injured and dead. Then it sounds like they were either attacked again and again won, or as if they returned home and were heros in their hometowns.
