Honestly, the majority of the high-ranking career military are politicians themselves. Most of them would sell their soul for that next promotion. As General Powell said and I am paraphrasing: The people you want to have as generals leave the military as majors and lieutenant colonels because they dared to challenge the system at some point and their careers were truncated.
