This is always a hard question. I find that the Chain-of-Command never exists during PvP so it's never really been a war-time liability. I've RP'ed many a Jedi-Naval Commander and not once have I received a single order from a superior Officer. Either Jedi or Navy. And that has been since the Faction was created, day one.
The trouble always seems to come 2 ways.
- An individual writer gets offended that the Jedi Order even allows it's members to participate in combat and complains about it.
- Or two, a singular Jedi individual makes a mistake during combat and nobody knows how to hold him or her accountable for it.
People who complain almost always leave the Order to seek their own personal ideologies elsewhere. Silvers, Grays, Pacifists, etc. So that takes care of itself. The second is much harder. Punishing a Jedi character for crimes or mistakes committed whilst acting as a Military Commander has never been a smooth, (or even applicable,) process.
Separating the Jedi from the Military does little to solve those problems. Members will still complain, if only in the opposite way. And Military Commanders will still continue to make mistakes, blunders, war crimes, etc; and still evade accountability.
In conclusion. Do what you want. I don't think it will solve anything. *sadness*
