> But you were saying they signed up with the expectation of being political pawns. That is not the argument you seem to be making now.
I am still making that argument. They don’t have the authority to decide if they’re pawns, political or otherwise. They’re part of an unbroken chain of command. I don’t see the contradiction that you are implying, as I’m not trying to change my position to my reading.
I can’t speak to realities perhaps as you can if you have served, as I have not served. No disrespect to you or to any service member intended by anything I have written.
