Politico has a fascinating article on Obama vs. the Generals.
Once you get past the "woe is me" commentary you get to the meat of the subject. The JCS and flag officers in general rolled over and played fetch to the Obama administration and now they're being treated like shit.
Awesome.
They deserve it.
But even more stunning is the fact that at this moment, the US military needs its boosters more than ever but they're no where to be found. Just as the Obama administration has marginalized the JCS, the JCS has marginalized its supporters. The Pentagon has few friends when they need them the most. They say HELP! We're facing a 10 percent budget reduction...the population says..."is that all?" Pain is coming and it will be fun to watch.
