These are officers who sadistically seek to further their own careers and openly make the world a safer place for islamofascist terrorists by "sandbagging" our own combat troops with outrageous charges and allegations.
You're not alone in noticing this problem. Our military, as magnificent as it is, is definitely "overlawyered", and it is damaging the war effort.
That said, I wouldn't go so far as believing they're doing it out of sadistic motivations or that they're consciously attempting to aid our enemies. I do think many of them are infected with the same arrogant, stupid, politically-correct ideology which pervades the rest of our populace and which is wreaking havoc domestically as well.
The military is a microcosm of the total populace. Usually, it tends to show selection towards the better specimens, but inevitably some less than optimal individuals find their way in. This phenomenon is also replicated in the other institutions of our civil society, such as law enforcement.
I believe this trend was greatly accelerated and encouraged during the debilitating "drawdown" and "spending of the peace dividend" policies of the Clinton years, when many of the more traditional types of career officers took early retirement in disgust or were pressured-out. Their replacements naturally tended towards the more liberal PC types since they were actively recruited and rewarded with career advancement, and of course, these types would naturally skew towards the less hazardous and more prestigious (from their perspective), non-combat MOS's such as JAG.
They are still there. Most of them are sincere, and mean well, but they ARE hurting us. And, the higher they rise in rank, or in public office (just watch Lindsey Gramham-JAG in action) the more damage they can do, and the harder it is to counterract them.
