We are going to be the only NATO country with an active military member as a minister of defence
Pic related is gen. GajdoĊĦ

It can be good (he knows damn well what military needs), but there are some risks
junta when
Good. Our is some smolensk-assblasted white nigger.

>smolensk-assblasted
Is it really a thing in Poland now?
>>56698179
I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. He was nominated by nationalist SNS, but he's pretty pro-Western
He was our representative at NATO
>>56697214
There's nothing wrong with that.
It's uncommon because it's better to have a civilian in charge of the Ministry in case he fucks up and also to keep the military as an institution serving the nation and detached from party politics.
>>56697214
Alright, let me know when you start spending 2% of your GDP on defense spending like all NATO members are supposed to be doing.
>>56698457
He has to resign before assuming the post
Civilian control of the military and all that
I'm not worried about it because our country has no history of military dictatorships
>>56698574
It's going to be raised to that level in a few years
His role will be to deliver on that. There's going to be a lot of new projects
We're not going to be lonely any more. Feels good

Ours is pretty Sikh but yeah, OP might be technically right. He had to step out because as Defense Minister and a Lt. Colonel, it would be awkward for Generals to take orders from him.
>>56699313
Is he retired or active though?
Ours is still in the service
>>56699135
sry dude, i dint really mean it, i jsut wanted to sound cool ...
>>56699762
No problem, man
You're pretty cool

can you explain?
>>56700129
he would command generals, who are higher ranked than he is
general/admiral commands an entire theatre/region and all the people inside of it
president (and def. minister) are high command, they command the command, they give orders to generals and admirals
colonel is lower than both regional command (generals) and high command (political leaders, with the whole purpose of military today to achieve political goals)
>>56700290
oh i thought it was related to his religion
>>56700290
Although tbf it's really the PM who commands the generals, I don't think the Defence Secretary is that important. At least in the UK system it seems like that
>>56700436
It's more complicated here. We have a coalition government.
This guy is just nominated by of the junior parties, servicemen can't be involved in politics
>>56698962
good goyim pump more money into the US weapon industry
>>56699898
thanks lad, hope we could be friends and stuff in the future...
>>56700436
over here basically politics fly out of the window and all people who ever served and commanded and have any kind of military service and expertise make a war council which kinda takes over control of everything till the end of conflict, all previous politics arent important anymore and everyone just focuses on the survival of the state first, we had fascists, communists, royalists, republicans, literally everyone banding together in the past, just like athens and sparta came together to face the persians

>our country has no history of military dictatorships
is that true?
with a name like 'slovakia' I just assume its been a shithole for the last 5000 years
>>56700952
Here they call it a War Cabinet and it's a smaller version of the Cabinet with only the top ministers (including Defence) and the top military commanders.
But what happens is that the PM gets advice and information directly from the military brass. The War Cabinet is meant to make collective decisions but really the Prime Minister has the last say. So that being the case, I wonder what the Defence Secretary actually does during war.
