When a Flag Rank officer runs afoul of the powers that be he is usually offered a court martial or retirement. Years ago my father told the Pentagon something they did not want to hear vis-a-vis force retention. He was given the above choices. He had two small children and could not afford to fight them. He was a doctor and it caused a major stink in the medical community. It almost killed him after 33 years of service.
