I saw one of the top Marine generals on TV sometime back....raising hell about the money being diverted (political) and how it was impacting the Marines ability to do....what Marines do.

I don't know....jmo.

Most Admirals and Generals (And some Colonels/Captains) are just very political (to get to that rank). Most, in the past, have rightfully avoided becoming political after their career in the past for the good of the nation. Now, they recognize that there are big bucks to be made as talking heads on TV and in "tell all" books where they whine about their leader's decisions that all are quite sure they could have made better. Military officers of all ranks have always left at the end of their careers...many unhappy to go and give up being practically God to those under them. They just get paid to whine about it now...and don't have the character not to.
