Congress when congress got too big for its boots.
And when congress had some legit issues.

And how the military got their way on Viet Nam and other wars.

And how no one touches military cost overruns and ridiculous purchases that are outdated.

(Yes I full well know the military risks everything for the country they love.
And families make big sacrifices. )

The truth is you can usually only push the military so far.
And if you do, you are not going to have your best day.
