Moreover, as amongst democratic nations (to repeat what I have just remarked) the wealthiest, the best educated, and the most able men seldom adopt the military profession, the army, taken collectively, eventually forms a small nation by itself, where the mind is less enlarged, and habits are more rude than in the nation at large.
Gainera, lehen esan dudan bezala, herri demokratikoetan hiritarrik aberatsen, eskolatuen eta gaituenak ia sartzen ez direnez karrera militarrean, gertatzen da azkenerako armadak oro har nazio txiki bat osatzen duela aparte, non buru-argitasuna ez den hain zabala eta bai azturak zabarragoak nazio handian baino.
