My Dad was in the military.
The para-militaries also had a lot to do with it.
I am thinking in terms of the military's access to communications and transport and its inbuilt facilities for the supply of medicine and food.
The military's war machine was woefully defective.
However, the failure of the military's coup attempt in 1991 and the attempt to wrest power in 1992 meant that new avenues for political legitimacy had to be found.
The military's goal was to prevent the growing polarization between youth educated in secular and religious schools by retaining children from "traditional" backgrounds in the secular-track school system.
In fact, this literature rests on a structural-functionalist foundation according to which change in the army can be explained in terms of the military's adaptation and responsiveness to social pressures.
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries politicians, engineers, business communities and militaries incessantly pushed infrastructure projects to forge polities, economies and societies, or to prepare for war.
Political intrusion compounded the military's woes.
