As a retired military I can easily see that Obama is so naive as to be a threat to our safety. It would seriously undermine the military mission to have a bunch of State Department lackeys tagging along and getting in the way. Given the political nature of the State Department it would also be like taking a Fifth Column into battle with you so they could actively undermine the mission and endanger the troops!

Obama is either a fool or a naive idiot!

Heck. The current crop of Pentagon lawyers already do that. Most of them believe that they should be consulted before ANY shot is fired and our current ROE over there shows it.
