When I consider most of the Officers I have known, I have no desire to have them run the government. If you love living on a base, you’ll love the military coup government.
My experience has been the same. People who know nothing but the military from the time they are children are not necessarily folks you’d want to live under. There are plenty of good guys (Mixon, Pace, Mundy, Boykin) but there are also the Mike Mullins of the world.
