Government military can be, has proven to be in the past, and in some places in the world still is, much more nefarious than that.

True in lots of parts of the world.
I kind of have a high opinion of the US military because of some of the people I have met over the years and how they often will stand up against those who thwart the rule of law and the US Constitution.
There were good German military in WWII who stood up to Hitler and almost won except for fate in one of the various assassination attempts on Hitler who was a rather mentally ill demagogue who just hit Germany with his despicable ideas at just the wrong time (for Germany and the rest of the world). They moved the meeting place of Hitler's conference because of heat. If not for that he probably would have died along with many of his most prominent followers.
