308 Scout vs Soldier Mindset

There is a powerful difference between the mindset of a soldier and the mindset of a scout. One is focused on defending a position. The other is focused on discovering the truth. Understanding the difference can change the way we think, argue, lead, and even live. The soldier mindset sees ideas as territory to protect. When someone challenges a belief, the soldier immediately prepares for battle. Defenses go up. Weaknesses are hidden. Contradicting evidence is treated like an enemy attack. The goal is not understanding. The goal is victory.
