As for the proposal... Personally, I'd prefer to see the Prime Minister appoint the Military commander - if we want to go through with our democratic approach, we ought to ensure the military is able to be used as a foreign policy tool by the person who is in charge of the Executive.
I'm accusing you of pursuing foreign goals first and foremost. That's not a crime but it's not cheap or meaningless either.
When we last discussed this we chose to keep the guard under the control of the delegate specifically so that alignment wouldn't become an election issue if the amendment passed in order to discourage organisations like LWU from votestacking and aligning Lazarus. It doesn't surprise me that that measure troubles you.

It's easy to remain calm when you don't care about the thing that's at risk. Maybe you're not accusing me of pursuing foreign goals because you're an exemplar of tranquillity or maybe it's just because this is literally the only region which I'm a member of.
