"Joint Chiefs are an advisory body, and not in the Pentagon’s chain of command."

Huh? Since when are the uniformed Secretaries of the Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy not in the chain of command? Always thought they were the top of the chain, just under the Chairman, Secretary of Defense, then the President. How could I have been so wrong for so long?
