Military brass have been deep state goon puppets since before Vietnam. Their roles and those of many beneath them are political.

Spez: About Face by Colonel David Hackworth for more info. First third is an amazing primary source of the front lines in the Korean War. Rest of the book is about his rise as an officer after a field commission and all of the politicization that occurred in the military/govt starting mid-Korea that caused major bungling in Vietnam. He said as much in an interview while in the field and was "politely" asked to retire, in respect of his great career.

Patton mysteriously dying after suggesting plowing over the USSR should have raised eyebrows.
