->''"In the worst days of [[Creator/JonPertwee the UNIT era]] there was at least a sense of tension between the Doctor and UNIT... Because the fact of the matter is that the military is, by definition, a tool of establishment power that prioritizes brute force and is organized according to an authoritarian focus on conformity for its own sake. There’s no way for the military to be anything else. This isn’t a statement of pacifist belief or anything along those lines -- it’s simply an acknowledgment of how an organization like the military needs to function. And thus the Doctor -- mercurial, anarchistic, and intellectual -- is at the core of his concept at least mildly hostile to the military. That doesn’t mean the Doctor is a pacifist. That doesn’t mean the Doctor must always oppose the military. But it does mean that using ''Doctor Who'' [[WarIsGlorious to blindly and uncritically valorize the military]] is deeply problematic."''
