Yes, alot of military officers who leave the military generally vote Republican. When I was a USAF officer, it was made clear to me to be a professional officer, one needed to be non-partisan. A professional military officer must be able to serve a Democrat President just as effectively as a Republican. Some of you other officer types here can vouch for this. I registered Independant for this very reason even though I prefer Republican leadership to Democrats. But it is true that Clinton filled these leadership roles with people who would toe his line and got rid of alot of effective military leadership. Another example of Clinton fleecing our military. These generals are some of those people. I'm assuming you missed General Myers who dismissed these Generals and labelled them as unprofessional in their demeanor.
The civilians make the decisions, we military people must live by those decisions. Otherwise chain of command means nothing. When you start screwing with this concept, you present certain dangers to the system. It's OK in the chain of command to bring up concerns and voice displeasure. But these generals did not abide by this code. But I guess since they're saying what you want them to say, it's OK, right?
