i think it could be successfuly argued that the military is in fact one of the best run organizations in the world. effectively organizing, training, housing, feeding, entertaining, transporting and supplying hundreds of thousands of people is no small task, yet it gets done with amazing effeciency considering the size and logistical issues that need to be overcome.

We will have to disagree on that.
I found the military to be one of the most inefficient, stupidest-run, wasteful enterprises on earth. Its budget is in the stratosphere and the sheer waste in terms of manpower and labor is absolutely unfathomable. Once you get into the food and supplies waste and fraud, it's unreal.
You have no idea what an abject disaster the military is in terms of total missallocation of resources. If ever there could be a definitive example of the failure of socialism, the military is it.
