Wasn’t the military which overthrew democratic governments though. It was the CIA.

They dont also fall under the DOD? (I am not a US citizen, genuine question)

Also want to echo sentiments about roaming profiles and how annoying they can be.

You would hope so, but they report to the director of national intelligence (a member of the president's cabinet) and are not a subdivision of the DOD. They infamously have their own budget, funded by their own means, and have somewhat of a rivalry with other parts of the government. The Department of National intelligence is the DOD's version of the CIA.
