a voluntary military is more prone to prefer war over diplomacy.
The military gets no say - wars are declared, or not, by elected politicians. What you say is only true in countries where the military runs the government.
- naasking 7y agoMilitary officers advise politicians. It seems silly to believe they have zero sway over political opinions.
- pintxo 7y agoI never saw it as „the military“ being more prone. But rather the general public. As in a voluntary military, they (their families) are likely not involved with the military personally. While having the draft ensures most everyone will be - on a family level - impacted by a war or peace decision.
