** [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-11-08 At one point]], Ebbirnoth rips into Pibald for irresponsible use of explosives, and Pi points out that they're both the same rank and thus he's not obligated to listen to another dressing-down. Ebby acknowledges that in terms of ''rank'' Pi is correct, but in other terms, the fact is that Ebby is wearing PoweredArmour and Pi is not.
--->'''Ebby:''' You don't have to stand here and accept a reprimand from a fellow lieutenant. But you ''do'' have to stand here and accept a reprimand from a guy in ''full power armour'' who knows you did something ''incredibly stupid!''\\
'''Pi:''' Oh, so now MightMakesRight and diplomacy flows from the barrel of a gun?\\
'''Kevyn:''' (appearing behind him) That's a pretty good description of the business we're in.
** Petey isn't averse to deploying it, either, particularly when it comes to people who have already attempted to do terrible things.

** Paul Atreides is another exception, though with somewhat more finesse than Rabban; he ultimately takes over Arrakis using an army of fanatical soldiers, a tactical application of atomic weapons, and in the end a DuelToTheDeath. [[Literature/DuneMessiah After becoming Emperor]], Paul wages a religious war of conquest that results in dozens of planets being sterilized for refusing to bow down to him as Emperor. Paul didn't ''want'' to do this, but his core following, made up exclusively of religious fanatics, wouldn't have had it any other way.

Paul didn't ''want'' to do this, but his core following, made up exclusively of religious fanatics, wouldn't have had it any other way. Though notably he only gets away with this because he has sole control over the spice trade, which prevents the Spacing Guild from moving any troops but his, preventing the great houses from ganging up on his smaller but better army.

* This is a common argument among defenders of the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics 2nd Amendment]]. The logic is roughly thus: A just government depends on the consent of the governed, because government without consent is tyranny. But if the government has a monopoly on force (or even an imbalance of force -- say, the police are armed with machine guns while the populace is limited to hunting rifles), then it no longer needs consent. It can do what it likes, and the opposition is simply imprisoned/slienced/assassinated/disappeared/whatever. Therefore, the right to bear arms is ''the most important'' right, because it's this right that secures all the others.
