I don't see a reason why not....Military personnels are more more disciplined, have foreign relations knowledge and are able to articualte on our country's issues with much more indepth knowledge than our leaders who have yet to complete high school(grade 12). It aint a joke to represent your nation in the international community. The kinds of ambassadors who can barely read off of the script has been nothing but emabarassing so far. Not to mention the former ambassador to the US, Murari Raj Sharma, who now works for UN due to the expereicnes he had as an ambassador of Nepal and all the oppurtunities he got from the government of Nepal, was recently caught protesting against the Nepal government in NY. It won't affect people liek Mr.Sharma if US stops military aid, or other countries put any kind of pressure and sanction on Nepal because he had already used Nepal's governments facilities to the fullest as he is enjoying UN salary in NY and probably has no plans to go back!! What a cheap person to be ever be "His Excellency" of my country!! Atleast an army will never change his colors like this!! He will always remain true to Nepal, his government and will not naked his motherland in the streets of NY asking for sanction on Nepal caught on PICTURES and NEWS!!! Oppurtunists bastards must not ever represent our country. Jai Nepal.....
