What do people think? I personally have no strong feelings either way.

However the army itself, including its general, should be autonomous. I know it sounds contradictory, but the general of the army should be privy to the private goings on of the cabinet. At the same time I feel this would help keep the army in the loop when the executive gets unstable in any manner.

An RRA-type model is rather difficult to replicate, and I'm not sure if it would even be desired here. Also, I think people are confusing how NS militaries and RL militaries operate in coup times...NS militaries aren't vast organizations with logistical support that can win/kill a coup >_> members make individual choices, etc.

If so, that'd be my ideal preference.
