Unfortunately, Americans now believe the Military is an important national institution rather than a threat to their democracy. The military is perceived as one of the few "disinterested" or non political organizations in America, and is barely understood by most citizens who possess a glowing and uncritical perspective on the Army's objectives and goals.
Luckily, the military leadership is actaully fairly well educated and not complete fools so I'm not too worried about them pretty much running the executive at this point. It does show that Trump has basically abdicated his executive power to the military though which, yes, is worrying since he's supposed to be where the buck stops.

The concepts "WAR" and "PROGRESS" are now obsolete.
