13 Temmuz 2026Foreign Policy

The article discusses the historical context of the U.S. military's involvement in partisan politics, arguing that the perception of the armed forces as apolitical is a misconception.
It highlights that this politicization did not begin with the Trump administration but has roots in earlier political dynamics. The piece challenges the notion that the military has always maintained a neutral stance in American politics.
The discussion around the politicization of the military has gained traction in recent years, particularly during and after the Trump presidency. This has led to debates about the role of the military in domestic affairs and its implications for democracy.
This analysis prompts a reevaluation of the relationship between the military and political entities in the U.S. It suggests that the current climate of militarization in politics is not an anomaly but rather a continuation of longstanding trends.
