Reply #34: None of those individuals ever rose to senior levels in the military...

...and as I stated in my original post, I also served in the military, so your comment is pretty much off-target.

The senior levels of the military are very much different from the levels below them. These are career military officers that are selected for promotion by the senior officers that served before them. As I've said before, there is not a lot of room for thinking along lines that are not acceptable to these executive level officers. As a group, they are very creative when it comes to developing new weapons and better ways of doing things within the broad structure of the military, but their political thinking tends to be rightwing in nature.

Ever hear of the 1962 Operation Northwoods as proposed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff? That was only forty-one years ago. Take a look at this link, and remember that these were the senior officers that sponsored and selected the next group of senior officers, that selected the next group, etc.:
