When at the military officer training camp a cadet was caught stealing money from co-servicemen, an idea to discharge him and make him serving a regular compulsory service term was sharply rejected by senior commanders because serving in a military force defending a country had been seen a honourable duty of responsible citizens, not a penalty.
