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.

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.

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.
