Why, then, when the Lebanese Forces speaks about the army, its role, and the necessity of implementing government decisions, is it accused of inciting sectarian strife and seeking to drag the country into war? And why, on the other hand, when Hezbollah threatens that implementing government decisions will lead to the country's ruin and the outbreak of civil war, does no one accuse it of trying to sabotage civil peace?
It has become customary in Lebanon to use phrases such as 'the army is legitimacy,' 'the army is the solution,' or 'the military uniform is legitimacy,' and this is absolutely incorrect. We are the most keen on the army's role; it is a legitimate institution, but it is not legitimacy itself, and there is a big difference between the two. The army derives its legitimacy from the state, while the state derives its legitimacy from the people. The army's role is essential and practical in defending sovereignty, consolidating it, and extending the state's exclusive authority over all Lebanese territory, but it does not embody legitimacy, and it is not a body outside the framework of the state and Lebanese legitimacy.
Therefore, it is not the army's role to intervene in political affairs, nor to make statements outside the framework of its military and operational duties, and it is better that these statements remain within the military institution.
First, guys, the elections are in 2028. Second, the problem is, if someone knocks on you, he comes himself, and if he doesn't knock on you, you go into the world. Truly a problem.
