If you're correct about the military being political, then Mullen was appointed by a conservative, Bush, and should also be conservative in the context of GCC, but the DoD still released a report on the challenges posed by GCC among other things. If the military was really that political then with a "conservative" JCS we should see "conservative" reports, but we haven't. At the very least we should see a flip-flopping of opinion as we get "conservative" or "liberal" appointees, but we don't for the most part AFAIK, because our military is rightly apolitical and is mostly concerned about doing it's job as opposed to politicking, even if officers have to go through the senate for promotions, although even then there would at least be bi-partisan support for the most part.
