4. The General
|
|
| Article 28- Political involvement | ||
| 28.1 | Political involvement | |
| War should only ever be started and ended by politicians, not Generals. |
||
| A General that participates in the political process, whether by constitutional authority, design or desire risks alienating themselves from their army and the people. |
||
| There is no honor of the kind that motivates an army to battle in politics. Therefore, once a General becomes known as politician, their effectiveness as a strong General is lost and they simply become at best a powerful politician and at worst a dictator. | ||
| 28.2 | A general completing their commission and politics | |
| Whenever a General is called to enter politics, they should seek to complete and retire their commission, thus preserving the honor of office and the military. | ||
| Where a General refrains from political involvement until they have properly resigned from their office, the may successfully preserve the honor and respect of their troops as well as the people. | ||
