Saying promotions are political because the senate has to approve them is a bit of a stretch. The senate also approved the HTF, but I don't think most people would say that spending money to repave highways is political. If the military really is as political as people have mentioned, then someone should be able to dig up examples of them flip-flopping on different things depending on which party controls the presidency and/or congress. For instance if the military was behaving in a political way about GCC, then we should see reports similar to the recent DoD report during the Clinton administration, and then a reversal of those reports during the Bush administration.
