The answer is no. The military is not a democracy. Its job is to kill people and break their stuff. Period. Their opinion on the orders they receive is irrelevant.

This looks like a Middle School homework question.\n\nIn the US, Australia, Canada, Germany and Switzerland, the federal government is the national government. The national government is responsible for defense, foreign policy, etc.\n\nIn the US, Australia and Germany, the state governments come under them; Canda terms these provinces, Switzerland calls them cantons. These divisions have tremendous powers reserved to them, unlike more unitary states  such as France, Ireland or Austria.

The Army doesn't have branches.  The US government has branches (executive, legislative and judicial).  The military has branches, I guess - Army, Navy (Marines are part of the Navy) and Air Force.  Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security, not the Defense Department, so they aren't considered military.

Absolutly neccessary for the US.  Other countries may differ.  In the USA, the Military is subordinate to the government, but does not swear allegence to it.  Our allegance is sworn to the US Constitution.  The first words of its Preamble are "We the People".  The military's first job is to defend "the People" against all threats foriegn and domestic.  Though on the domestic side, we usually differ to the police and FBI, who take similar oaths.\n\nThe military makes up one of the four aspects of national power with Diplomacy, Information (PR, Info Denial, Technology sharing, etc), and Economic (Most Favored Nation Status to embargos) making up the other three.  Therefor, it is essential the military remain under civilian control.\n\nThe US has a long history of civilian control of the Armed Forces and the military, as stated above, has many safeguards against abuse of power.  One of these is the right of the People, as individuals, to be armed.  The Founding Fathers cited this in both the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist writings as paramount.  Another control is the ability to deny execution of orders based on Constitutionality.  Clinton ran into this when he was hunting his political enemies down and tried to employ National Guard assets for surveilance purposes.  The National Guard refused based on the un-Constitutionality of the orders.  Local media in my state had a field day with this in 1994, though it was "oddly" ignored by the national media.  Clinton was then forced to illegally use the FBI and IRS to investigate and/or audit his opponents (scandels known as File-Gate among others).\n\nCongress controls the rules governing the military and the President is the Commander in Chief (see the US Constitution).  The UCMJ is based on the US Constitution, US Congressional regulations, and Federal law.\n\nThus the Military remains a close but subordinate part of the civilian government and the People of the USA.

Government of Laws = The powers of the government are limited by the laws that are put in place. The government can ONLY do what the laws say it can or can't do.  Those in power may change, but the powers they have don't unless the laws are changed.\n\nGovernment of Men = The decisions of the people currently in charge are the extent of the power.  There is no real limit on the governments power, aside from the conscience of those in charge.  Every time someone new comes to power, the laws change to be whatever those in power want.

Technically, the Marines call all their bases "camps", and the Army calls all their bases "forts" or "posts".  The Air Force and Navy call all of theirs "bases".  Thats it.

Do you mean the constitution? A constitution is a system, often codified in a written document, which establishes the rules and principles by which an organization is governed. In the case of nation states, this term refers specifically to a national constitution, which defines its nation's fundamental political principles and establishes the power and duties of each government. Most national constitutions also guarantee certain rights to the people.
