The characteristic feature of militarism is not the fact that a nation has a powerful army or navy. It is the paramount role assigned to the army within the political structure. Even in peacetime the army is supreme; it is the predominant factor in political life. The subjects must obey the government as soldiers must obey their superiors. Within a militarist community there is no freedom; there are only obedience and discipline. | Omnipotent Government | p. 35 | Military |
The conduct of military affairs is characterized by a stubborn hostility to every attempt toward improvement. | Bureaucracy | p. 67 | Military |
