bullshite. If more people that had oomph behind there statements like these generals do would stand up and speak out, we'd be in a better place regardless of who is in the White House.

I agree that it should be point of public knowledge whenever a POTUS ignores his military advisers and acts against their advice. The American people have a right to know when their POTUS is "going rogue". This way, any particular POTUS will think twice before ignoring his military advisers.

The American people also have the right to know whether POTUS is receiving the best military advice possible. This advice should be based on sound and tested analysis. This is an important point, that I've raised before: I hope that our "system" or "process" for formulating POTUS military advice is TESTED analysis. There are various ways to test analysis with models and simulations. I hope that our process the best it can possibly be.
