Or maybe, we can accept the bitter reality and give the army 'some', if not major, constitutional role in high level policy formulation. This can serve as a safety valve for illegal takeovers by the military for it will steal away the raison detere which is when army starts to think that its voice, which it believes is best for the country and necessary for national integrity, is not being heard.
This shall result in electoral stability and allow the civilian setups to improve governance and deliver to the masses. After some time, when the processes mature, the army's role can be conveniently reduced to its primary one and it be detached from the political process. This arrangement could be similar to that of Turkey, where after 70 odd years, when the country has taken off in economic and social growth, army is being sidelined in the constitutional set up.

One should follow pragmatism instead of blindly obeying the idealistic line.
