But back to the subject: at least it's *our* military. Soldiers raised in a democracy, with democratic ideals, defending their own country. And even if they are tempted, as long as we still have democracy, we can control them. Plus their mothers will give them hell if they get out of line.
Isn't that what Chile said?
Reminds me of the jokes running around about Clinton never giving up the White House.
Except I couldn't see Clinton declaring Martial Law because of the 'War on Terrorism' and rolling out Tanks to keep himself in power.
