#7  A little reminder:
"Obama administration DID leak classified information to filmmakers on Osama bin Laden raid

Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, who made Oscar-winning film The Hurt Locker, given access

Secret 'vault' where raid was planned and identity of Navy SEAL involved in mission given to filmmakers"

#4  Remember, all senior General Officers [that includes Admirals] are selected and nominated for their positions by the White House and Secretary of the respective services. In other words, they're all political appointees. When was the last time any of them resigned/retired in protest to a political decision?
