Very good post Seretogis.

There's a reason we have a civilian in charge of the military. The military is a servant of the state, if you require military service it puts the upper echelon in too much control. They decide who gets advanced, what if some outstanding young officer has different ideals? By terminating him early they could cut off his political career. By putting the civilian in control of the military they keep them in the servant role, not weilding the reigns of power.
