I think the fact that one of the world powers today is all about military and projected power disproves this. Almost 50% of the population of that country made it clear that the military is of uttermost importance for them.
Then there are other countries where this is true too.
I wish what you're saying is true, but I don't think it is in most places today, although in many it is like that.

Politics and military do NOT mix. And the current status where military is subservient to politicians is superior to many other setups we've seen.
