Our military is being overrun by lawyers in the field. The troops are starting to loose morale with all the legalistic limits as well as rules of engagement.
They no longer feel that their leaders are on their side in these wars.
If there is any unit that you don’t want to jeopardize it is the Seals and Delta Force, because they are the ones that may need to pull an administration out of a tight spot..like the Maersk Alabama. Zero lost a lot of face with them in that operation..and it just might not come off the same way next time.

I agree. First send all the military lawyers without any infantry, Marines or even Blackwaters, and let them solve the problems. Heh, heh, if they all get cornholed and otherwise abused, send some more lawyers, and after a while we will run out of lawyers. Pity it would be, wouldn’t it? Then we’d have to draft media and send them, and they would do about as well as the lawyers did, and then we would eventually run out of them. Then we could send the military who would kick butt and take names. Future lawyers and media might learn something from that scenario. If they did not, we could repeat it.
