john Locke's publication called his Second Treatise of Government allowed for extraordinary powers for a government's chief executive to handle military emergencies. He wrote that a legislative body would be too slow to react to a dangerous military threat. In such a situation a nation's top executive should have extraordinary powers to use force to save a nation from great harm.

Are US military officers allowed to be in political parties?

Yes, they are allowed to be in a political party. They are allowed to be active in the party as well. They can support a candidate through contributions, volunteer work etc. However, they are not allowed to use their status as military officers to promote a candidate or a political agenda. They are not allowed to go to meetings and rallys in uniform or to otherwise leverage their position for political purposes. Bottom line, they have to be careful to keep their military status separate from their political activities.
