What? DS9 had one of the all-time darkest episodes of the Trek series. Watered down my ass, the characters actually evolved!

it wasn't social comment or ethnic balance in the driving seat (or captains chair?)
Yes it was, per Roddenberry himself. He intended for the show to attack heated and divisive social policies. In a time when Russia and Asia were the enemy, you had a Russian and an Asian on the bridge. When segregation was rampant, you had a black WOMAN on the bridge. The original series tackled racial and social issues of it's time. Missions included Nazis, Communists, Socialists and many others. Kirk and Uhura shared the FIRST on screen interracial kiss.

They're armed, they have a system of ranks, they fight the Federation's wars. If that's not a military, what are they? Granted, they do a lot of things that are not in the remit of a traditional military, but as far as I can see, they're still a military.
