its allegiance is to the crown, currently. A) if a constituent assembly is formed, followed by a rewrite of the constitution stipulating that the army pledge allegiance ot the head of governemnt, do you think that the army would truly be loyal to the elected government? B) if a military rule is imposed, do you htink the army will continue to be loyal to the king? unfortunately, this war has benefited the top brass the most. the national budget has skyrocketed, with monies pouring into army supplies, recruitment, weapons, etc. the flow of money trickles down from the top; the ones wiht more medals naturally get more contract arrangements, kickbacks, etc. now, this is a very good tactic for ensurign continued loyalty from the top ranks. how about the mid-level and lower-level officers? could there be a mutiny? also is there a possibility for the army and maoist armed forces to be combined into one army, given that each side has seen its men getting butchered by the ohter?
