Is civil control of the military necessarily good?

edit

Reading about Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his purge following the attempted 2016 coup, I have just wondered whether too much civil control of the military could in some circumstances cause problems. Many authoritarian or illiberal leaders have faced opposition rather than support from the military. Thus a ruler seeking greater power and less democracy could potentially want to make the military less independent and less able to criticise the government.
