They have the power. They can do whatever they want, because they have the bombs. They are above the law. And most of all they can get away with it.

Military Control is the application of Matial Law:\n\nMartial law is the system of rules that takes effect (usually after a formal declaration) when a military authority takes control of the normal administration of justice.\n\nMartial law is instituted most often when it becomes necessary to favor the activity of military authorities and organizations, usually for urgent unforeseen needs, and when the normal institutions of justice either cannot function or could be deemed too slow or too weak for the new situation; e.g., due to war, major natural disaster, civil disorder, in occupied territory, or after a coup d'état (sudden overthrow of a government ). The need to preserve the public order during an emergency is the essential goal of martial law. However, declaration of martial law is also sometimes used by dictatorships, especially military dictatorships, to enforce their rule.\n\nUsually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many countries martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law does not contain that crime or punishment in its system.\n\nIn many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military tribunal, called a court-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur.

The military does not control airspace.  This would be a local police problem, coordinated with the FAA.

The main change was the creation of a strong federal government. Parts of that included a federal executive office (which did not exist in the Articles), a bicameral legislature with representation based on population (each state got one vote in the Articles), and federal powers to raise money and armies (in the Articles, states were merely asked for money, not required to give it). And perhaps most importantly, under the Articles, laws had to be passed unanimously, so nothing ever got done.

State and Local g-ments are to manage conflict.  Feds are to provide functions (defense, etc.), to set guidlines and oversee state and lcoal g-ments.

Military can easily become the most powerful body in a lesser developed nation. This is because there are no proper checks and balances, there may not be proper laws and even if these things are present the military can still take over using their superior organisation and advanced weapons and aircrafts. \n\nFrom that point a dictatorship starts in the country. As in any dictatorship the dictator can do almost anything. He can do whatever he wants. Sometimes he can even mislead the public and swing their support in his favour. He uses media to promote himself and restrict opponents. This makes it very difficult for political opponents. They can't pass their messages to the public. All opposition rallies and meetings are restricted. They cant even fight with the dictator coz they do not have the weaponry the military has. The only chance the country then has to get out of this hole is foreign help. A bigger country can help that nation overthrow that leader through their power.

Ya, what dragonfly said!\n\nBut this might be a legitimate question.  The Federal Govt's main job is to protect us.  That's where a lot of tax money goes - national security and defense.  They also protect us by doing things like inspecting meat to make sure its safe, regulating medicine for the same reason, and stopping illegal aliens.  Besides that, they pay a lot of money towards education, roads, things that state and local govt are mostly responsible for, the fed govt gives them money.

"The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed in 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act was intended to prohibit Federal troops from supervising elections in former Confederate states. It generally prohibits Federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act substantially limit the powers of the Federal government to use the military for law enforcement.\n\nThe original act referred only to the United States Army. The Air Force was added in 1956, and the Navy and the Marine Corps have been included by a regulation of the Department of Defense. This law is often mentioned when it appears that the Department of Defense is interfering in domestic disturbances."

It is actually funded by three different sources.\nThe goverment alots money through REDSTONE ARSENAL, near Huntsville, ALABAMA.  The department falls under military.\nThen there's BOEING and LOCKHEED, which are not related to a government agency of any kind.  However NASA and Redstone arsenal work hand and hand together.\n\nIt takes so much money to keep it afloat, the goverment alone won't do it.

In the Pentagon, everyone one has a ranking whether they be military or civilian.  This is how seniority is controlled.  This is how authority is controlled.  As an example, if you are a Navy Captain, that is equivalent to a O-7, I believe.  The civilian equivalent to that may be a G-17.  I'm just guessing on that, but I'm not far off.  Those two individuals would then be the same rank and would not have authority one over the other.  However, a Brigedier General would be a O-8 (again, I'm guessing) and he or she would have authority over the latter two.\n\nA civilian government job works much the same way as a military job or rank.  On many bases throughout the world, military and civilians work together, so this pecking order is in place to maintain protocol and decorum.\n\nI might add, time in grade does play a part, most of the time, as far as authority is concerned.  Two people working together with the same G rating would determine which has more time in grade, that person would then have the authority over the other.  Yet, a person of higher authority need not take that into account when making assignments regarding these two individuals.

Assuming you are taking about the United States government...\n\nThe federal government derives its power from the states.  Any powers not granted to the federal government by the states (in the US Constitution) are reserved for the states.  The 10th amendment to the Constitution states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."  That is why the US government is known as a government of enumerated powers- if the federal government wants to do something they have to find a way to justify that action in the Constitution (which they are pretty good at doing).

We in the military work for civilian bosses that are appointed by the President and approved by Congress.  The President gives the orders, but Congress controls the budget.   It's the people's money that funds us after all. Furthermore, we are an extension of the government's political strength, often used to secure geopolitical goals rather than strictly to defend our country. As such, we will never be free of political machinations.
