The ancient Roman army fought when they were ordered to fight. They were ordered to fight after all other means of conquest were ignored, their officers met for a battle plan, and the terrain was scouted for a suitable position for a battle. Why? They fought because it was their job.The ancient Roman army fought when they were ordered to fight.

yes Marine officers to go in combat. Atleast mine did Yes. If a Marine officer's job takes them and their Marines into harms way, they will go into combat regardless of his military occupational specialty (MOS). Every Marine is a rifleman. Every Marine officer is trained as an infantry officer first. Marine pilots are all officers. Squadrons are in the odd position of the enlisted men sending their officers out to fight (with the exception of the enlisted men who are gunners on aircraft with crew served weapons).
