Summary

This quote suggests that during times of war, those in charge of executing military actions tend to gain more power and influence at the expense of the legislative branch of a government. As the focus shifts towards achieving military objectives, decision-making and control tend to be concentrated in the hands of military leaders and executive officials. This potential imbalance can result in a decreased involvement of legislators in shaping critical decisions and policies, ultimately impacting the overall distribution of power within a society.
