A country that prize democracy and liberty should never look to the military control of the civil administration as a solution to poor civil administration. If it does it would be but a short step to military dictatorship, and furthermore that step would almost invariably be taken in relatively short amount of time.
That makes sense. I guess this would be a risk in a country like America with such a powerful military. We don't really worry about this in Canada
