So you obviously believe the military is the government. Like I said -- silly.

WOW! Guess your school never got around to teaching you about government and civics. You need to find a copy of the Constitution quickly and read it.
Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States
The Dept of Defense is part of the Executive Branch of the federal government. If I was you I'd ask for a refund from your whatever school you went to. You obviously were ripped off.
