I think you blame the "population" or whatever (presumably meaning non-military US citizens) a little too much. The chain of command doesn't include the population and that's that. It's very simple.
I'd actually just look at the chain of command and the various entities that actutally are part of it and maybe find some fault with those for a change. And yes, that also includes the boots on the ground. Soldiers are not some dieties that cannot err in any way. The soldiers I know are very much fallible and often they are unable to find employment in the normal society. Why should these individuals be worshipped, especially when they give so little reason to be appreciated.
