It was also a better fit for how Jeremiah saw himself. Every young man thinks he’s a badass. The military was a chance to prove it.
“I do not hate Octavius Caesar, though I would fight him, were that my duty; I do not love Marcus Antonius, though I would die for him were that my duty. It is not the place of the soldier to think of politics, and it is not the business of the soldier to hate or love. It is his duty to fulfill his oath.”

“I am an old man, and tired, and I ask release to return quietly to my home. But you are my commander, and I shall not move against your authority. If it is your decision that I may not be released, I shall acquit myself with that honor in which I trust I have lived.”

“Do not call me your dear boy.” Octavius did not raise his voice; like his face, it was totally without expression. “I am the son of Julius Caesar, and I am consul of Rome. You will not call me boy again.”

“I would prefer the weakness of Rome to all the power of the East,” he said, “though I am sure this is not what Antonius had in mind. He expects that if I do not die, I will go under with the problems here. But I will not die, and we will not go under.” He raised himself a little. “We have much to do.”

“He is a boy, and a rather foolish boy at that; he has no idea of politics, nor is he likely to have. He is activated neither by honor nor ambition but by a rather gentle affection for the memory of one he would had been his father. And his friends look only for the advantage that they can have in his favor. Thus he does not, I believe, constitute a danger for us.”
