Who is REALLY running the military?

In light of General Mike Jackson's comments last night, and listenting to recent procurement fiascos, I have to wonder; who is really running the military? If leadership is 90% example, 10% direction - then I'm more troubled today than I was yesterday.

Civilians have run the military for a very long time as any reading of Pepys diary will demonstrate or for the musical any listen to the lyrics of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Even under a military dictatorship civilians will, in some the form of a civil service, still play a large part in how things are put into practice.

10 Downing Street, the soldiers fight and fall so that those sh1 ts in Downing street get to keep their jobs. Pathetic.
