Dude, News Flash - they already ARE. At least some elements.

It used to be unheard of to hear ANY such opining coming from the military.

It seems to have started up big time while Slick Willie was in office. I started hearing active duty personnel, both officer and enlisted, openly expressing disrespect and disgust toward the CinC. What really shocked me was when I went into the Navy Exchange on Norfolk Naval Base, and they were openly selling t-shirts that showed two military personnel simulating a homosexual act with the words "Clinton's Military" printed above.
