Why do the Egyptian people seem to trust the military?

Asked by incendiary_dan (13401points) February 11th, 2011

Apparently Mubarak finally left office today, and left control of the Egyptian government in the hands of a military council. In most countries, having the government in military control would be a big red flag, but from all the coverage I’ve heard and read the people in Egypt trust the military. I thought the previous government was basically a military one anyway. Is there some relationship between the Egyptian people and the military I’m not aware of?
