The military will always be the "capacity reserve" for government.
Have a flood? Call the military
Have a riot? Call the military
Have a forest fire? Call the military
Have a hurricane? Call the military
Have a poorly crafted concept that you can "Develop" and "Secure" your way to victory? Call the military.
The problem is not so much that the military is being used improperly, it is that we have crafted the improper solution to the problem. The end result will remain, "call the military."

"The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self." Colonel Robert C. Jones, US Army Special Forces (Retired)
