We should have lost the Venona Transcripts, intercepts of Soviet cold-war espionage activity. Word came down from the FDR White House to kill the Venona program, perhaps under the influence of Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau who had an important assistant in secret-Communist Harry Dexter White. As it was the military officials responsible for the intercepts continued to accumulate them and the accuracy of Senator Joseph McCarthy's estimates of Communist infiltration of the State Department would ultimately be confirmed nearly to a "T". Military Intelligence revealed itself in that instance not to be an oxymoron.
Every shift of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have bucked Presidential directives. Admiral Thomas Moorer conducted spying on the White House that Nixon detected, but the President held his cards close to his vest and made Moorer beholden to him.
The Military failed to be completely cooperative with the Obama Administration over supposed chemical warfare by Syrian President Bashar al Assad, and later the questionable nature of the narrative tended to support the restrained Pentagon policy about direct U.S. military involvement.
The Military's unlikeliness to respond hastily to Biden's unwise posturing about giving Ukraine missiles that can penetrate deep into Russian territory, seeming to lead us closer to Nuclear War, is not currently leading in the news. But the men who lead those who have to pay the price are unlikely to over-react.

Obama lied about Syrian chemical attack, ‘cherry-picked’ intelligence: report
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/9/obama-lied-about-syrian-chemical-attack-cherry-pic/
December 9, 2013. The Obama administration quashed intelligence reports that suggested an al Qaeda-linked group could have been responsible for the sarin gas attack carried out in Syria last August [2012], according to a news report published in London on Sunday.
In threatening a U.S. military strike on Syria during the weeks that followed after the Aug. 21 chemical attack, President Obama and Secretary of State John F. Kerry cited “definitive” evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad had been responsible for the incident.
What they kept secret, according to an article by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, was the belief of U.S. spy agencies that military forces loyal to Mr. Assad were not ones in Syria’s civil war to have access to sarin.
