Going public with doubts about his plans, and especially his insistence that only HE chooses the targets, that is the right thing to do.
The Generals are remembering their oath. Obama is not.
I beg to differ, An Officer should in private make his differences known. But once the Command is given, Then they must either carry out the order or resign.
I notice that most Flag Grade Officers will not resign. But will offer contary views when they safely have their pensions secured & they have their book to sell. This brings no credit to the Uniform and is of no help to the Nation which really needs it in time of War.
