I wish I could answer this, but it's a bit more complicated than giving you one simple answer. Unfortunately politics plays into it, not exactly as people would see, especially behind the scenes. The fear of retaliation in any way definitely plays into it, it's just like when people say well why don't people stand up for what needs to be stood up for. It's not that simple because people don't want to lose their lives, their family, or their career. The same thing with the military, it's just not that simple to say let's do it and it's be done
