Some senior military leaders did not challenge civilian decision makers at the appropriate times, and the courageous few who did take a stand were subsequently forced out of the service.” IfsMenLittlesGovernmentAmericaChallengesDecisionLeaderMilitaryMen And WomenObviousTerroristIdeologyAdministrationBranchesProportionAppropriateExecutivesCourageousMakersSeptemberSeniorHistoricCiviliansStrategicSeptember 11BlundersAftermathTerrorist AttacksDecision MakersMilitary LeaderExecutive BranchSeptember 11 2001Appropriate TimeMilitary Experience Author:Ricardo Sanchez
