If the military runs well enough without complete control of humans, why
would it need complete control of AIs, as opposed to similar reviews and
checks?

There are tales, from before paperclip maximizes, of those who pursued
"power" at any price, or any one goal to the detriment of all others.  They
tended to get their goal only technically, in a way that robbed the point
of the goal.

It may be that being intelligent (biologically or artificially), and being
able to be completely controlled, are mutually exclusive.
