<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="339587" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/339587-46z-chief-public-affairs-nco">SGM Private RallyPoint Member</a>, I submit they are good military officers stuck in a very difficult place. The article points out what many senior military officers have to deal with: the balancing act of leading the military and staying in the good graces of their ultimate boss, the Commander-in-Chief. I assume that is especially difficult to do when the Commander-in-Chief and the senior military leaders don&#39;t agree on major policy/strategy issues that involve the military. I do not envy the military leaders one little bit.
