"One thing Derbig that you can’t know unless you have served is how the vast majority in our armed foreces are truly professional, competent, selfless and dedicated to our nation and its ideals.

Why, RMP? Do they keep it a secret? Why isn't it obvious to all?"
Well, its obvious to anyone who works with them day by day, otherwise how on earth would you know it? And as I mentioned in my previous post, its part of the culture to despise grandstanders, folks publicizing themselves, and so on. So Patton, for example, was thought to be a prima donna.
On another one of your notes: If a President insisted on some policy and an officer felt he couldn't follow it, they would resign, like Shineski did, they wouldn't rebel. It isn't the mafia, for god's sake; or rather the civilian leadership the last seven years has been the mafia.
