I tried to search who this quote belongs (as it is good to always have a source as well) to and it seems this comes from a late Roman era (4th century) from Vegetius: De Re Militari (Lib . II . cap . 5.)

But in the original it is in the third person plural + few other differences:

Jurant autem milites, omnia se strenue facturos quæ præceperit imperator, nunquam deserturos (militiam) nec mortem recusaturos pro Romana republica.

I think Hermes modified it on purpose (of course Roman soldiers wouldn't swear to die for this forum). ;)

Thanks for digging up the source; it's nice to have it indeed.

Ah! I sort of thought (=on the second look) that the "forum" is some reference to the Forum Rōmānum or something, but ... ok xD I actually don't know how this section works at all, I thought people were just sending some quotations from the litterature or so :p

I'm not entirely sure what's allowed in this section, either. But yeah, I think this probably would have fitted better elsewhere...?
