I don't see officers voting as the downfall of the profession, or retired officers voicing opinions as a threat to the republic.
nor do I.

As to the third part of Kohn's article, starting here:

Related to these strategic and political failures are possible moral deficiencies among the officer corps, which have arisen in the last few years.
I simply do not see it based on what I see here; and among the actives and retireds who inhabit my little world.

When I compare the "moral deficiencies" of similar management and leadership classes in the broader civilian world (including my own profession), there is no comparison.

I do see problems with the civilian-military interface (which I perceive to be the focus of Kohn's 1st two points - strategy and politics). We have to communicate better - something about hanging together, or hanging separately.
