It does not really matter. In the grand scheme of things, the military is under the control of the President, whether or not the President happens to be conservative, liberal, socialist, whatever. Regardless of what party the President happens to be a member of, the military still has to follow the President's orders. It says so right in the Constitution.

Exactly. That's why he's called the Commander-in-Chief. Presidents often replace underlings (and everyone in the chain of command is HIS underling) with those who are of the same ideology as he is.
Anyone who does not understand this concept of power and authority is either in denial or terribly naive.
