An axiomatic fact of life is the man with the gun makes the rules.

That is true in Bannana republics, but not in the USA.

In point of fact, one of the principle goals of the founding fathers was precisely to set up a system in which the military DO NOT make the rules.

That is why, under our system, the miltiary has absolutely no right to question the constitutional judgement of civilian branches of government.

It is true in ALL Human societies. The USA obeys the same laws of physics to which all other cultures are susceptible. Your inability to discern reality does not make it go away.

Right. That's why they appointed the Post Office to be in charge of the Military, because they knew force wasn't needed to make people obey the rules. Don't mistake your own simpleness for that of the founders.

That is why, under our system, the miltiary has absolutely no right to question the constitutional judgement of civilian branches of government.

Were there a constitutional judgement to question, you might have a point. As the issue has yet to be adjudicated, you do not. Madame Chairman, I move to call the Question! "Is this man eligible or not? " The Sensible part of the Population of the United States wants to know, including the military.
