“Flag Officers” don’t run “the Pentagon”,civilian appointees, then bureaucrats do.

DO NOT blame the military for these insane policies. Short of Congress doing its job with checks & balances or a military coup, there is nothing the generals can do but say, “Aye, Aye, Sir.”

I don’t think generals say “Aye Aye.”

People in other professions often resign rather than do something that goes against their beliefs, their honor, their integrity. Most don’t, but some do.

I would think military professionals would have even higher standards. And of course, “i was just following orders” has been established as no excuse.

They could resign with honor.
