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.
The t-shirt thing is disturbing and I'm surprised to hear that. Seems to me that it's the sort of thing that could foster a culture that could someday enable military leaders to pick and choose who leads them. Like in Turkey, where if the military doesn't support the government, a new government is ushered in.
