Indeed, Jedi General Anakin Skywalker felt that the only way to truly be a leader of soldiers was to lead from the battlefront, serving in the trenches of war alongside one's army. Their soldiers could also come to mock such officers, questioning if their supposed leader lacked the fighting abilities their army possessed. Alternatively, officers who worked away from the frontline could anger their troops, particularly if the superior's plans resulted in the deaths of many soldiers. While officers who did the latter could still win battles, soldiers often appreciated it when their superior fought in combat with them, coming to respect such commanders. Officers would serve as leaders for soldiers, fighting and commanding alongside their troops or commanding from a more secure location. Another ideal was hope, which was often held by the soldiers of rebel movements the Rebel troopers and other members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic worked off the hope that the Galactic Empire could be destroyed. In fact, the rogue Sith Lord Maul believed that every soldier was bound by honor, deeming it a weakness that could be exploited. Soldiers also often fought with an ideal in mind, such as honor. Soldiers of the Rebel Alliance sought to defeat the Galactic Empire despite the odds. Soldiers could serve in more roles than front-line fighters, as they could be stationed at an installation or serve as guards. Soldiers who fought purely for monetary income rather than political alignment were known as mercenaries. Infantries were army branches made up of soldiers. Soldiers could be trained and organized to fight as part of an army or militia, whereas others served as special units. A soldier fights for an imperfect nation, not a perfect ideal." ― Soran Keize
