What is the military's position that is different than the current (prior?) ruling politicians?

I thought I had posted this video in one of these threads before. Looks like this may be an educational way of understanding modern Turkish politics.

About time the secularists in the military took action. I have no problem whatsoever with them doing this to throw a wannabe Islamist out of power.

Yep. He seemed to have aspirations of a modern day Ottoman Empire, and I feel he's more than a bit responsible for the staying power of IS. Much like the Egyptian military seizing power, it's not an ideal option but quite possibly the best available.

With all the violence in the world, I have relatives who have decided to travel to Spain next month, then on to Germany.

All you have to do is go to CNN and see which side Anderson Cooper is pushing...

Go the opposite way...

I am a bit worried over the US Service members and their families over there.

You would have thought he would have backed the Egyptian military as well, but he decided to go with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood instead.

I'm still holding out hope the military rallies. We're only seeing two cities, Turkey is a huge nation let's see how the rest responds.
