Quote
When the U.S. was ramping up for Operation Iraqi Freedom, during the presidency of George W. Bush. The J.C.S. Chairman was General Richard B. Myers, a senior Air Force officer known for his low-key, even-tempered get-along and go-along approach. One of his fellow chiefs referred to him, sotto voce, as “the invisible chairman.” He did his duty or, as military officers describe it, he “stayed in his lane.”

Indeed, while Myers often expressed privately his reservations about Bush’s plans for Iraq, he remained silent during crucial White House national security meetings. A key intelligence official (“a back-bencher,” he recently told me) remembers a break in one session on Iraq strategy when Myers joined a small group milling about, drinking coffee. “You know,” Myers told the group, “I often think during these meetings that we’re not really serving the president very well.” The intelligence officer recalled that the group “remained embarrassingly silent,” though all were thinking the same thing: Who did Myers mean by “we”? Recently, Myers was honored for his service by receiving the Air Force Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award—“Thus proving that in Washington,” as a senior retired Air Force officer told me, “Nothing succeeds like failure.”

Military is so similar to the corporate world.  Just shut your mouth, agree to everything (you don't actually have to DO everything, just agree to it) and you will move up.  Also, never ever talk back, and never ever get visibly mad or upset.  Boon.  "Success."
