Oh in that regard I am not disagreeing with you at all, that is how things should be and I approve of such.This is one of those things where I truely disagree with you.
Every society every culture every country has a fuck it point. A point where you have so pissed off the relevant people that this kind of moral grandstanding no longer works. Historically speaking fucking over your own military in favor of hoodlums typrically ends with said military killing the civilian leadership and taking power.
But most armies nowadays are trying their best to remove nationalists and other peoples who would put the people over the government. Nigel Stevenson might want to defend Britain from the tyrannical hordes, but Dequan Desquarious Jackson might be less inclined. Just a hunch though.
