That sounds like things are not going well for someone, the question is who? To say the military has been supporting the constitution above all else is blind to the endless wars that have very little to do with our country or constitution. If the threat to our county from all those weak countries around the world are so real, then they need to have a chance to actually cause some damage so the citizens of this country can engage them with a united front. As it stands, the vast majority of the populous is so removed from their own defense that they believe killing people in mud huts will keep them safer than securing their own boarder. The web of alliances our military has made to keep themselves and our perceived national interests safe, keep the poor kids busy fighting and dying all over the world and the rich kids moving resources around the chessboard while skimming enough out of the system for themselves and their group to keep the structure going.
The military either needs to be part of the populous with every citizen sharing in the pain and sacrifice, or it needs to be put on a very short leash, along with 'Intelligence' whose jobs seems to be nothing but justify/create military expeditions.
