Yes I agree that is why its necessary we keep the separation active. People trotting out "who the soldiers" want to win the political election is very Dangerous. No matter what Party.
But that Pales in comparison to people trotting out "Who the military wants" to win the political election. That is the stuff of nightmares.
Officers are prohibited from being political around their men I beleive. The US military has a good record of being non-partisan as an organization. But it requires constant vigilance. Especially when its the most powerful Military in the world.
