28. It doesn't matter what is in Congress or what the POTUS WANTS done.
What matter is what the current orders and policy are. The POTUS can end that policy if the Senate gives him the vote to do it.
Until that time, the service chiefs duty is to their service and what they think is best for it after around 35 years in the organization and not to whoever is POTUS.
You say you think that "they are speaking before Congress in a manner contrary to the wishes of their boss(es)." They are also under oath and sworn to say what they think is the truth. So you are saying that they should perjure themselves in front of Congress just to agree with the POTUS. You bring up how general under the Bush Admin were forced to resign for disagreeing with the POTUS and now you are suggesting that Obama should do the same?
