[2402.AB] Amendment to the Charter and Military Code

[KrisKringle]

I have a few comments:

• This feels slightly contradictory. Is the military led by the Prime Minister and the Admiralty, or is the Admiralty the “supreme entity leading the military”? My suggestion would be the rephrase the second clause to “the primary entity leading the military”.

@Banexet

(2) The military will be led by the Prime Minister, along with a corps of generals board of admirals appointed by the Prime Minister and approved by the Assembly.

@Banexet

(2) The General Corps Admiralty shall be the supreme entity leading the military

• Is there a reason why “Captain” and “Admiral” are capitalised? I feel that they shouldn’t be.

@Banexet

(1) The General Corps Admiralty is a commission comprising up to three Commanders Captains and the Prime Minister, or their appointed designee. A Commander Captain on the General Corps Admiralty shall be called an General Admiral.

• In such cases who is allowed to exercise operational command? Would it be the Prime Minister?

@Banexet

Should there be no Generals Admirals, the military shall not operate except for the self-defense of the South Pacific, for the defense of an ally, or for the purposes of explicit treaty obligations.

• If assent may be rescinded “at any time and for any reason” does that mean that assent could be lawfully rescinded for, say, having a public disagreement on unrelated matters with an admiral?

@Banexet

(3) A member of the military may only be a member of another military with assent of the General Corps Admiralty, which it may rescind at any time and for any reason.

• Why would honourable discharge be one of the allowed disciplinary actions? If one is being disciplined to the extent that discharge is warranted isn’t that almost by definition dishonourable?

@Banexet

(2) A disciplinary action given to a member of the military can be any one of:

(…)

4. Honorable discharge, in which the affected member is dismissed of duty in good faith;
