I put this in another post but since there is no traffic appearing there I will say it here:
I think the powers of the military should only be granted to one man, IF he is elected by the popular vote, and not given the powers by a judicial body, like an election for the president and an election for military commander. Maybe thats too improbable but it might work out better.
