However if, as an officer, they cannot agree with the decisions of the political masters they must resign.<br>As a side note, I think that Ben-Gurion's decision to cut the budget was the right thing to do for at least two reasons:<br>1. The national priorities was to spend the money in the immigrants and in building the new state.<br>2. This was another test to the ability of the civilian government to govern - and Ben-Gurion pushed Yadin to resign and by that to establish to superiority of the elected government over the army.RogelThu, 31 Aug 2006 12:42:16 -0000http://www.rogelsview.com/in-the-news/the-honorable-thing-to-do/#comment-1227524It's funny you should mention Yadin in this context. Maklef, who replaced him, was, if i am not mistaken, 33 years old. and he too resigned after a year.<br><br>when you resign you shock the system. But that this is always a good thing, I seriously doubt.TzvikaThu, 31 Aug 2006 11:36:27 -0000
