The military makes it a point of honor to be subservient to elected gov? Care to share your experience why you say this? They may take an oath to follow orders- but not one and no thing says they can't say the decisions behind orders are stupid. It's much more of an honor to say your order is stupid but I'll follow it. Politicians mince words until you can't tell what the f$%^ they are saying, but most generals are straight shooters that tell it like it is, with plain talk.
