Lets put President Barack Hussien Obama - On the SPOT
By openly declaring their views on the Afghan war, US military leaders have placed President Barack Obama in a bind as he faces a fraught decision over the troubled US-led mission.

Obama has refused to quickly approve a request from his commanders for a major troop build-up in Afghanistan, insisting first on a full vetting of the current strategy.

But while a war council takes place behind closed doors at the White House, top military officers have made no secret of their view that without a vast ground force, the Afghan mission could end in failure. Rest at the title link
Or if America had any BALLS - It could tell Mr. Barry Soetoro -suck it up and fight for American interest worldwide !
Generals don't make policy, presidents do. When presidents refuse to make policy, or when they make policies that make no sense, then the military needs to educate the presidents for whom they work -- at first and almost always quietly and privately. The military never looks good for long fighting with the president. Going public with this may be useful to the military in the short term as a way to focus attention on the problem, but at some point the generals and admirals have to salute and say, "yes sir Mr. President." Or they have to resign.
