Interesting to me is that miltiary people are indoctrinated with the concept of chain of command. A serious problem in discipline and morale exists if enlisted men are yelling at the Secretary of Defense. That's worse than yelling at a general....and skipping the chain of command? forget it. When I was in the service stationed at Ft. Polk, LA, I once tried to use the military's telephone system to call the White House to complain about not getting leave time approved. The sergeant who answered was more pissed off that I was skipping the chain of command than he was that I was making crank phone calls to Clinton or that I was using the phone system reserved for morale and emergency calls. He threatened to have me formally punished etc. Is the US military preparing to revolt? I don't know, but they have a good shot at bringing the war to an end single-handedly.
