Several I suspect. One being that the deployment of military forces is pretty fearsome. Tanks, helicopters, transports, and, of course, the soldiers/sailors/marines moving swiftly in coordination can be pretty overwhelming. It's not an exaggeration that it in itself could cause panic among civilians not used to it.
Additionally it makes it more difficult for civilian government leaders to use military force to put down protests, uprisings, etc. Letting the military loose generally means things will be broken and people will be killed. Not exactly what you want to see happening on your street.
