When it comes to serious industrial disputes between a group of workers and their employers/government, do you not agree that the Army should remain impartial unless there is an explicit requirement for it to intervene, such as used to exist prior to 2004, when Army personnel were obliged to cover for striking firefighters, but are no longer required to do so?
