Talk:List of heads of state and government with a military background

A clarification on the criteria for this article
Greetings, ⁣

I want to clarify the criteria for the listing on this article. More specifically, the article says that the listing excludes any persons who served the mandatory military service. What about the people who volunteered for the military service in their country, even though it was or is mandatory there at the time they volunteered? And what about persons who chose to remain in the military after their mandatory period ended? I am pretty certain that there are cases of people who chose to remain in the military after their mandate expired. Any thoughts on this? Legion (talk) 18:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
