These flag officers should get this situation into perspective. There was a time in their twenties when they were willing to give their lives for those next to them. Now the only thing asked to demonstrate leadership is to resign and show the way to armed forces members who thought they were part of the ultimate meritocracy. It is time to leave the Armed Forces to the LGBT, feminists, employment bureaucrats and their toadies.
The article below highlights another time the flag officers should have resigned in mass.

Good reference.
Had all 5 JCS members resigned that day, there would have been no Vietnam War, or the war would have been ended by military force like that unleashed by Nixon in the Linebacker II offensive.
Instead, we set the precedence for no-win wars that have cost thousands of young Americans and yet a worse world.
