It's called the division of labor. You can't have the guy in charge of running things get turned into Beefaroni in a foxhole.

Just get another guy charge then?

No but you can conscript their kids and require them to be on the Frontline. You can have a conscription program that cannot be bought out or excused. You can require a military referendum.

There are ways to deal with this problem.

that would be bad, yes. but you could also make the argument that the guy in charge of things would be much less likely to initiate a war if he knew there was a chance he could get turned into beefaroni in a foxhole.
