Probably one of the most disturbing changes to take place is the increasing politicisation of the military. Whilst the military is an instrument , albeit a blunt one, of govt policy, and has been for since Pontius was a pilot, it seems to have gotten out of hand in recent years.
Can only lead to disaster as the politicians make yet more cock-ups and then expect the military to bail them out, whilst the senior officers at the top of the military do little or nothing to stand up to them because that wont get them their 'K' or next stripe.
