It is funny.. noblemen and kings did go into battle back then. A lot of british officers that were in the front were nobility. many were useless and pussies, but them having to maintain reputations made them at least go to the front or they are seen as cowards and made fun of by other nobles.
Any politician or bureaucrat who tries to send troops to another country should be required by law to go with them and actually fight.

It's also why World War I was the senseless goatfuck that it was.
