Czech president calls on army to defend against globalization

[Sol Invictus]

Speaking at the annual gathering of the Czech military’s generals on Wednesday, President Václav Klaus said the military has a greater role than just conducting foreign missions. Noting it is the military’s constitutional duty is to defend the borders and unity of the Czech state, the vociferous euroskeptic called upon the army to defend the Czech Republic against globalization and unification in Europe.

“It appears to me to be insufficient to attempt to base the defense of the need for our army on its involvement in foreign missions. Given the volatility of politics and the international situation, they [foreign missions] are not a sufficient argument and cannot become the sole source of legitimacy of the army in the public’s eyes,” Klaus said. “These things are also part of the military’s tasks, but only also.”

Klaus was also against the Lisbon Treaty but he signed it anyway. Klaus was also against the Euro and still the Czech Republic is set to join the Eurozone when it is ready eventhough only 22 percent of the population support the idea. Courteousy to the president.
