First, I apologize if this point has been brought up before, there are just way too many posts on these related blog posts to read.
However, the underlying point Mr. Greenwald has made is how the NeoCons are attempting (succeeding?) in their attempt to politicize the military.
I think it is also important to look at how BushCo has militarized civil intelligence services. He has appointed active duty military officers to head the CIA and NSA. Neither one of these officers have resigned from the military. Mike McConnell, the US Director of Intelligence, is a retired Admiral. I am not aware of specific examples where this has happened, or is happening in other departments, but it seems to be a disturbing trend.
The military is currently controlling all of the intelligence gathering resources in our country. This same military is now actively promoting a political agenda. This is very concerning and dangerous to the United States.
