Pointing out a contradiction of policy and interest between civilian and military who each have independent concerns and capability doesn't necessary imply sarcasm. I took nimbius to mean that it will be interesting (as in get your popcorn) to see who's influence in the halls of power win out when such a contradiction exists.

I see little conflict, there is little reason the military would observe restrictions in the battlefield. now they could limits its use only while deployed or simply run it under an exception only policy, as in you get to use it for this period of time and not otherwise.

there has always been separate rules applied to the people and government, the issue comes down to the simple matter elected officials should always be considered public while in office.
