Having read the article, here is my takeaway. The author (Frank Kendall) thinks Rear Admiral Colin Green should resign and all other senior officers should follow his lead to protect the military institutions they lead? This is the hill they should die on for the good of the institution? Please.
Secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer bypassed his chain of command and tried to cook up a crack deal with the WH and was fired for doing so. Richard Spencer violated the values and ethos of the Navy and deserved to be fired.
Frank Kendall - "What still remains to be seen, is whether or not our senior military leadership will passively accept the damage that has been done." If Frank Kendall is representative of senior leadership that has made a career living and working in the Pentagon, then perhaps they should all resign. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. See the Defense Business Board's McKinsey report for the true values and ethos of the bureaucratic DoD.

I believe Trump partakes in pardons to give the impression he is in charge and he cares about our veterans. He does not know doctrine, strategy, or tactics. I believe he is not in tuned with the significant sacrifices that service members and their family members make. I despise people who say or imply the sacrifices are insignificant because we signed up for it. Well Trump called a gold star widow and made her cry by getting her name wrong and saying you know he signed up for this. He has no inkling of the constitution of a warrior.
Trump's approach is his way or the highway. I would rather quit than to work for a toxic person like him.
