It is not someone's position or place to question or defy a situation, order, or the way things are done.

Originally phrased as "theirs not to reason why." As soldiers, we are trained to follow orders, ours not to reason why; after all, a soldier constantly second-guessing orders will not be very effective.See also: not, ours, reason, why
