The essay presents existential attempt to analyze the figure of soldier from the point of view of philosophical egoism and anarcho-individualism of Max Stirner’s The Ego and its Own. Possible interrelations between a soldier (or a person considering enrolment to the army) and the institution of state both during the war and peace will be considered. It will be argued that there are no premises supporting rationality of service in the army. Restricting itself to purely pragmatic arguments Stirner’s nihilistic position grants objectivity of the discourse, beyond any political or ethical doctrines.
