It is absolutely critical, imho, to have the military free to speak their mind freely to someone without threat of retaliation OR hope for personal/institutional reward. ALWAYS we want them to give the BEST military advice they possibly can.
It is also absolutely critical, especially in a republic/democracy, for the military to answer ultimately to the civilian. They are so potentially powerful that the ability to subvert the system is extreme.
