Under the Uniform Military Code of the Interwebs, can we relieve a commander if he demonstrates insanity?
How is this thread weird? It's friggin awesome! Come on now Jester. Didn't I tell you before? My soul is from the 17th and 18th Century. I'm enchanted by that era. I may have had some glorious past lives from that era. I romanticize and fantasize about the world from that era, hence why I like to do things the way they were done then. Can't you figure that out? Geez. You are supposed to be smart.
It depends on how you define insanity. And whose definition. Remember that to the insane, the sane are seen as the insane. Who's to judge? And which definition?
If by insanity, you mean fantasy prone, well we all are sometimes (except for cold practical Taiwanese and Japanese). If you mean delusional, well not really. I can differentiate between reality and fantasy. I just prefer fantasy sometimes. I'm not a practical Taiwanese as you know. I think most psychologists would define insanity as being unable to differentiate between reality and delusion.
Also, read your history. Great monarchs and emperors have always had people executed like I depicted above. Even good and kind monarchs did, such as Queen Elizabeth. They had to execute people to eliminate threats, to show that they were strong and able to deal with treason, or for crimes. Every monarch must show strength, never weakness, lest he or she lose the respect of the people. Many Roman Emperors even had their own relatives, family and friends executed.
Monarchs also executed people when they were angry or insulted. For example, Alexander the Great killed one of his best friends with a spear when he insulted him. He regretted it afterward, but his friend should not have insulted him and triggered his temper.
I guarantee you that during the Roman era, if Repatriate had insulted the Roman Emperor the way he insulted me and others here, he would have been executed for sure.
So stuff like this is nothing new and not "weird or abnormal" as you claim. Think about it. Read your history.
Also, if you insulted someone's honor during the 17th and 18th Century, you would be challenged to a pistol duel. That's how things worked back then. Even great intellectuals like Alexander Hamilton (head of the Federalist party) and Alexander Pushkin (the great Russian linguist and writer) were challenged to duels and got killed in them.
And since my soul is from that era, I like to imagine doing things the way they were done back then. Do you get it now? Why is that weird to you? I thought you were a wise and understanding person?
