We would have nothing more than a authoritarian government should we let the military tell the White House what to do or for that matter take it over. When commanding Generals question their Commander in Chief, what does that say down to the lowest Private who needs to feel confident that he may muster all the courage necessary and go in harms way?
I suspect that the White House has only begain to be stunned by there own people turning on them .
That the top brass feels compelled to speak out so forcefully on the issue of civilian command and control of the military is an indication of the growing militarism in American society. They see it in the officer corps and note the growing divide and nasty rhetoric within civil society and they are afraid.
