An angry deflection of the issues and an equally angry illustration of someone who dislikes senior military as a group. Perhaps you recall both Presidents Reagan and Bush-the-Elder receiving millions in speaking fees after leaving office, authoring books, etc.
I think it is just as disturbing for Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton and those in Congress to profit from their government service. Their examples have now stimulated the idea among career government employees that they deserve a piece of the pie as well, witness Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson, and a host of other dim bulbs who are making money off their "inside" information.
I have no dislike of senior military officers as a group. Along with almost 8 years in the Navy as an officer, I participated in the Capstone Program and got to know plenty of flag officers. I hold the vast majority of them in the highest esteem. They are the kinds of people USG employees should aspire to be. Their sense of duty, honor, and country is admirable.
What I find disturbing is the growing trend toward politization of the military, CIA, and the diplomatic corps, which both parties, but primarily the Dems, have fostered along with the willing cooperation of some in those organizations. It weakens the credibility and advice they provide to policymakers and creates some distrust between political apppointees and career employees.
