Yeah, that would help.  But the real problem with pol?tico-militar
is that it looks way too much like the English equivalent --- my first
reaction was "huh, he forgot the 'y'".  I'm after a word that *looks*
not-English.  Alvaro's comment that maybe we need to look to something
besides Spanish seems on point.
