Having a Military to Guarantee a Democracy, a Secular Democracy

In some ways, i view the military in turkey as having played a role similar to the sense making apparatus in our universities and our newspapers. And that my serious concern about the united states is that we are headed down a path that we cannot imagine actually ends in literal dictatorship of unas yet unknown form. Our situation is that our sense making apparatus is weakening itself because its economics is starting to crumble. I think that there are parallels we come back to. This may be finished the turkish case.
