Dempsey’s argument is completely divorced from reality, as just a small amount of honest reflection would reveal. The problem is these high-ranking generals are, for the most part, no longer soldiers but politicians themselves. They don’t want to rock the boat, as they are thinking of cushy post-retirement jobs in industry and the media. They’ve given up caring for the troops or the role of the military in our society. It’s all about licking Obama’s boots.

Bingo.
You’ve summed it up perfectly. These generals and admirals are a disgrace.
Dempsey is bootlicker-in-chief. Wherever there is a despicable action against a military personnel or the military in general, his fingerprint will be there. He’s just perfect for Hussein’s purposes.
It might be that these Generals are boot licking. However, I believe many like Dempsey are actually of the ilk to carry on with their own attitudes. I was on the lowest end of a army totem pole in WWII. I had to give reverence to any guy up the ladder especially officers. Once the war was over and I was freed from the concepts of rank obedience I developed my own person. Since then I give no special tribute to those that lorded over me. Too many are just smucks below my civil tolerance. It boils down to when and where a person should or have to in good conscience recognize the human standing of any other humans. I have lived a good life, college degree, 56 years of very good marriage to a wonderful woman and many good friends but I will not place 4 stars on a mans shoulder as signifying that man is necessarily worthy of my respect.
