In the end, they march to the orders given. This isn't to say that there is no corruption or collusion, there must be....but pointing to the DoD like theyre the ones that make these decisions is letting the actual movers and shakers off the hook and hammering their underlings who are bound by oath, honor, and law to obey.
It's not quite that innocent.
