- KineticLensman 2y agoAlso true in the UK. Even in a war the UK armed forces are ultimately tasked by and report to politicians.
- graemep 2y agoIts true everywhere except for military dictatorships.
- godelski 2y ago>> Also, there’s plenty of examples of countries ruled by militaries. Even the US president is the head of the military Maybe I should have reversed the order of these two. I didn't intend to use the US as an example of a country ruled by a military but rather that military is integral and connected directly to the top.
