#5  The Islamists have been able to finagle political power, and weaken the military command enough to prevent a coup, but this does not mean that they know how to run a military.

Given the track record of such louts, those parts of the military now controlled by their cronies will either rapidly decline in effectiveness, or neutralize the crony, who will just think he is in charge.
