People wishing to delve deeper in this topic should read Alfred Vagts'
classic _Militarism_, in which he differentiates between the military
state of mind (exemplified by the Rebels) and the militaristic (*really*
exemplified by The Empire).  Basically, the first is interested in
results and the second is interested in internal power games and pretty
uniforms -- but there are many other insights and historical examples in
the book.
