Sadly, I think you have identified the crux of the problem.
I don't think there's an easy fix to this problem since the nature of democratic governance and civilian oversight give significant opportunity for the values and principles of each administration and senior leaders to influence strategy.
When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles. - Louis Veuillot
