I guess it's less that their military is in control and more Atlas' constitution allows the military and Huntsman academies say in their government. It's just that the military has gotten extremely powerful in Atlas (given they live on a world where one Apex Predator (the Grimm) actively attacks the other (us), this is probably understandable) and one general controls the Huntsmen Academy, this the military is effectively in control.
