The sovereign’s business is war and large scale internal conflict. Thus his business is diplomacy, the military, and taxation to support the military. Any time he meddles in something else, he is not empowering himself, he is empowering his dangerously overmighty servants. He is losing control, which was the death of King Louis XVI, and the fall of so many Chinese empires. When the Sovereign says “war with the outgroup” all his subjects must be at war, and anyone that makes private peace should hang. When the sovereign says “Peace with the outgroup” all his subjects must be at peace, and honour the arrangement agreed to, and if anyone does not, the Sovereign should hand the offender, or the offender’s head, over to the outgroup, even if the offender is popular and the outgroup unpopular. The Sovereign also needs to regulate status competition to direct it into prosocial channels — but the root of status competition is group violence. Thus, when then Charles the second gave the invisible college the status of the Royal society, the Puritans did not like it, feeling that theology rather public experiment should be the root of truth, and organised a mob, which mob Charles put down. Conversely, when mobs attacked Puritans, he was strangely ineffectual in putting them down.

It is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape. If they cannot escape, then it is their sworn duty to cause the enemy to use an inordinate number of troops to guard them, and their sworn duty to harass the enemy to the best of their ability.
