The Saga of Tanya the Evil, Vol. 1 - Carlo Collodi, Emily Balistrieri, Kevin Steinbach

"'Rejoice, Lieutenant. We'll be on the forward-most line.'

 

'What an honor.'

 

This is the worst."

 

Heh. Tanya deliberately spouts the most blindly patriotic things she can think of, while privately just wanting to end up in a marginally safer position. (Although at the same time also really enjoying battle? I don't know, it's confusing.) It's actually kind of fitting that she's also forced to pretend to be devoutly religious in battle. The main difference is that she's fine pretending to be patriotic but despises pretending to be religious.
