"...The general replied emphatically, making clear that he had already settled this question in his own mind. The American military, he said, has a non-political tradition going back to the Newburgh conspiracy during the Revolutionary War. It must not set itself up as some kind of Praetorian guard...."

As an aside: My suggestion is to review Newburgh Conspiracy, Wikipedia, to see just how badly the rebels' war effort had been done.
Had it not been for Great European Powers intervention and entry into the war on the side of the rebels for their own great power objectives, the rebels would and should have been decisively defeated.
