Re: War - What would happen if there were no soldiers?

Is there even a protocol in place if this to ever happen?

 

If we have protocols to prepare us in case Aliens make contact then why not for something like this?

 

I personally think they'd have to settle it over a game of Battleduty or Call of Field tbh.


 

That would be a peaceful overthrow of the government. The army has to do what the people ask as long as its legal.


To refuse would basically call for an election, or the court marshal of the army (lets assume the army wont court marshall itself and the police wont take action etc). A new election would be called for by the army in the hope that the new government would not issue the order.

 

So if the government was voted back in, you would be in the scenario where the people wanted to go to war but the army didnt.

 

This would probably result in a civil war, as the army would probably just take power.

 

If this happened in every country, we would probably just get impartial 3rd parties to settle disputes, or play games or something lol.

I would have preferred chess or at the very least checkers none of this video game nonsense.


You don't know what fun is


Back in my day fun was a rock in a tin can we never had team tournament 5. Don't know you're born some of you.

That's a sensible answer.

 

Now it's time for me to go and convince every person in the world to never fight for our governments ever again.

Older than me? Older than me! That''s the problem with youngsters today no respect, in my day we had to show respect or you would get a clip around the ear hole. Aye I remember once me mam beat me for 4 hours straight because I forgot to say thank you.

Be careful, the path of peace is as dangerous as the path of war <3

 

I think the army will shoot you if you say it to them :smileysad:
