During and immediately after WW2, military leaders like MacArthur and Zhukov had major influence within the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union. Did this have any impact on the aggressive, confrontational, militarized nature of the early Cold War?

Reading about North Korea's famous songbun policy of the military's power over civilian government made me wonder if there were any parallels with allied governments at the eve of the Cold War.
