"Critics argue that deepening the military’s role in electoral politics promotes narrow rather than national interests. If such abuses continue, the military could become affiliated with one party — or become a political tool for whichever party occupies the position of commander in chief."

The increasing involvement of the military in issues that are heavily politicized, such as immigration policy, risks further politicizing the military itself. This could lead to a situation where the military is seen as affiliated with particular political parties or ideologies, undermining its role as a neutral and unifying national institution.
