No matter the walk of life, the higher a person goes in an organization, the more politically astute that person needs to be.  It is the way things get done, through negotiation, give and take, getting the "right" person on ones' side and so on.  It is no different in the military and I will suggest to you that a politically astute officer who gets things done is more effective than a bull in a china shop who is continually embroiled in battles and gets little to nothing accomplished.  Now, I suspect your term "politician" regarding Gen Milley is more the "swamp" definition, and that carries a negative connotation that I don't think applies in this case.  I prefer to interpret his actions as doing the best he can in an incredibly difficult situation.  And I am not sure I can buy your claim as fact that Milley went around his civilian bosses to reduce the possibility that China might misunderstand our situation, especially with all of the false reporting going on in the mainstream media.   There might well be some CYA going on with the civilians running DoD at the time.
