Yes, Kevin, it is a parphrase. But it still keeps with the intent of the whole qoute. We in the military are free citizens in arms to defend the whole. We are not slaves nor automatons. The missing portions spells out the types of wars we should be fighting and why we are fighting them. And Mill is also correct in the assertion that Rights may be God given, but they are protected by those willing to fight (and pay the price) for them. I would say that isn't restricted to those in uniform.
