The idea of the Political Soldier, that is to say one who devotes all his time and energy to the nationalist struggle, was one that had long existed on the extreme right in Europe.
The Political Soldier movement alienated many of the rank and file members of the NF and the 1980s were hallmarked by divisions over the issue.

 Neofascism and religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the assertion that religious fundamentalists and militants are "fascists" can often be understood as a hyperbolic political attack that uses the term fascism as a politic epithet or slur, there are also some scholars who have used the term in discussing certain religious movements.
This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism and subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom."[20] George W Bush, President of the United States speaking before the National Endowment for Democracy, October 6, 2005

 THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S FOCUS
The British soldier realizes his presence in Northern Ireland is the cause of these acts of terrorism, and although he has no power over British military initiative in Northern Ireland, he still feels responsible for suffering his presence engenders.
As a British soldier, his presence in Northern Ireland is the cause of the terrorist bombings; as a British citizen, his country’s oppression of Irish Catholics is the source of the terrorists’ resentment of British rule.
The image of the soldier affectionately clutching the girl against his breast and the appalled look on the soldier’s face show that he is truly sorry for any suffering he may have indirectly caused.

 Soldier in Paradise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
That soldier is Norman Sims, an awkward, naive young Oklahoman, who shoots himself in the foot and becomes an object of ridicule.
Transcending any "political" focus, Soldier in Paradise dramatically renders the alienation of Vietnam veterans, ordinary men who've had an extra burden to bear because of the protracted, brutish character of an unpopular war that never came to a satisfactory end.
Though this is a war novel, it is also a story of love—romantic, paternal, fraternal—and of the power of memory and the healing power of putting one foot in front of the other to find a way to live in a seemingly meaningless world.

As a statesman and a soldier Leon Degrelle had known very closely Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, Franco, Laval, Marshall Petain and all the European leaders during that enormous ideological and military clash that was World War II.
No foreign soldier in the armies of the Third Reich was as highly honored for his heroism in defense of the west as Leon Degrelle, none so much merited honor.
He had done all that was required of himself, he had fought with skill courage and idealism against a murderous and barbaric enemy: the Soviet Union, that enslaved half of Europe under the pretext of liberating it.

He is often portrayed as he sometimes portrayed himself: as a "soldier's soldier," the simple handyman of warfare.
Distinguished as his battlefield exploits undoubtedly were, his career as a political soldier was at least as impressive and considerably more dangerous.
Having negotiated the treacherous terrain of the Stalinist purges, Zhukov was dispatched in June 1939 to Russia's hottest military landscape: the disputed border region between Outer Mongolia and Japanese-dominated Manchuria.

One might consider initially that a strategy of deterrence precludes the short-term service of citizen soldiers because such at strategy requires a military organized more as a force in-being and less as a mobilization cadre; that is, it requires personnel already in place or available for immediate mobilization and deployment.
These leaders must be particularly alert to ensure that soldiers are free to inform themselves of political developments in civil society and that they are allowed to exercise their rights in voting for political leaders.
It is also essential to reaffirm the tradition of the citizen soldier that service on behalf of the nation-state, in and of itself, is a mark of citizenship.

 Good soldier Joe's political miracle; A payback from the team of Clinton-Gore [Free Republic]
Yes, Joe Lieberman, stern castigator and loyal absolver, has a strange perspective on miracles, particularly those of the political variety, which are known more commonly as paybacks.
It's like a political colleague who knows him well observed Monday night on one of those talking-heads cable shows: Lieberman often may sound like a Republican, but when it comes to voting, he generally falls in with his fellow Democratic partisans.
What concerns me about the Lieberman candidacy--and it's a concern that other observers of the political scene share--is the distinct possibility that so much will be made of his Jewishness, including his orthodoxy and his Zionism, that his politics, his record, his core beliefs vis-ˆ-vis his ultimate actions will escape scrutiny.

Acheampong proposed a 'Union Government' in which power would be shared by civilians politicians and the armed forces, thus doing away with partisan politics; this led to violent student demonstrations (Jan 1977) and the closure of Ghana's universities.
Although a referendum in 1978 showed that the majority of people supported 'Union Government', there was a general feeling among the general public that the referendum was rigged.
