    i mean military just showed up, did absolute minimum just so that they can’t be prosecuted for refusing orders, and when parliament voted martial law away some of them left (before being ordered so) then the rest left anyway. they knew what was going on and didn’t want part in this

      I mean, conscription sucks etc etc, but this is why you want it. You *try* to make it so that the average citizen is represented throughout the military so that it’s not just one group of gung ho violent dickheads that self select for abuse of power.

      Also, it means the guy in the crowd can also put up against that kind of bullshit as a civillian.
