Just that there’s no confusion, the point of a civilian-controlled military is so that the military doesn’t do what the military wants. The military does what its people wants (or maybe needs), based on instructions from the civilian leader(s) voted into political office by the civilians.
The military is but one of many tools in the toolkit of our civilian foreign policy makers.
If you have an issue with how foreign policy is done, the right person/people in charge that should know are the politicians. They control the military.
