Cause it says right there in the Constitution that HE is their COMMANDER IN CHIEF, not the pissants in Congress! So they better not talk to 'em without TRUMP'S permission, otherwise they're all fired!

And I imagine military leaders think Congress are a mostly a bunch of dipshits, esp. the leaders Mango Mussolini still has kept around, so not having to answer to Congress probably sits just fine with a lot of them.

Gaining complete control over the military is pretty much the first month of Dictatorship 101.
