Power doesn't "corrupt" humans, because humans are inherently "corrupt". If you don't teach a child not to steal, they'll steal. It's not just human nature, but nature itself. The only reason why humans are here is because of their ancestor's greed and selfishness. Humans don't just become "violent and selfish" because of some sort of political "power" they are given, they (we) are always like that. It is a very integral part of us.

Besides, political power is only as powerful as people will let them be. If no one is willing to obey two opposite General's order's to charge, then nothing happens.
