Maybe we have learned to no longer being so naive to believe that idealistic utopia. You are basing on a theoretical concept - and take that as the excisting reality. But the reality does fail you. You refuse to see that. The truth is your nation is as little democratic anymore as ours, but is as oligarchic and plutocratic like ours. The strings of power are pulled by people who are unavailable for your precious little election comedies or any legitimation procedures in a democratic understanding. For a former soldier who believed he served his country and people it must be difficult to accepot that he only had served the business intzerests of a few profiteers, all soldiers seem to have that problem becasue nobody wnats to believe that he served a purpose that is murky at best. If you serve in the military and risk your life, you want to do that with the conviction that you served the forces of light and honour and justice (as long as you are no mercenary at least). The truth is not welcomed, I totally understand that. But still it is the truth, welcomed or not. You have been betrayed and lied to. The only question that counts now is - how much longer do you buy their lies?
