I guess it depends whether you think that they should have fell on their swords when the politicians made political decisions that happened to conflict with the said senior officer's view (or vice-versa).
Personally, I expect nothing else from either politicians or senior officer; they used to disgust me, now I realise that my disgust will have absolutely no affect on the outcome, so I concentrate my efforts on those matters I can influence.
