As someone who served, it should be obvious to you that high level military officers do not appreciate nor tolerate liars. (And please save your 'whattaboutisms' - yes, Bill Clinton lied about his Monica blow job).No, I'm going to go with "Where did you gain such insight into high level military officers?"
And yes - I served. And no - I'm not going to detail my service to you, but it is one of the reasons that I am so disgusted by this stuff.
