Quote #10 on Political Struggle Quotes >> War and Military Aristocracy
“...so long as the professional soldier is in control he will see to it that the army is not democratized. And what is true within the armed forces is true of the nation as a whole; every increase in the strength of the military machine means more power for the forces of reaction.”
Source: "Democracy in the British Army," by George Orwell, 1939.
