Talk:The Problem by Mr. Conway/@comment-27013684-20160208225841

I agree with the foundation of all new militaries being the same as the old ones. The problem though is that every player that has even a lick of experience thinks they are qualified to lead a military. There is a massive issue with people thinking they are entitled to power just because they've been around a while. So when you talk about experienced people stepping up to the plate not being joined, you miss the point that there is a reason they're not joined. To be the leader of a succesful, well functioning military takes a lot, it's why I never attempted it, and it's why many great leaders (some of the best officers) have tried and drastically failed.

Every new military these days excels in one thing or the other, but fail in many categories. Until people can work together to create something functional, the militaries will continue to be an embaressment. The main thing to note is that the State model does not work. It must be abandoned and replaced with something better, people need to stop thinking they can fix it on their own, there are plenty of intellegent people that still play Graal, people need to stop being arrogant twats and work together to make something.
