Ehhhh...possible, but pretty unlikely. As I stated in the article, those in high places in the DOD - whether military or civilian - tend to be hard-nosed, take-no-BS types. For example, you must know how the military is normally politically conservative, right? Yet this last election, they voted for Biden...especially the officers. A Military Times poll in 2019 showed 2/3 of officers disapproved of Trump...and this was *before* the pandemic, before the firing of the CO of the Teddy Roosevelt for trying to protect his crew, before Trump pardoned the SpecOps individual that the military had already convicted of a war crime, and before the news came out about Russian bounties on our troops.

The military had had enough of Trump's BS, even going so far as publicly stating they were not going to allow him to get the military involved in domestic military matters.

My point isn't about Biden or Trump, but that (compared to the civilian world) the DOD has little patience for BS from anyone, even when it's from the political party they've loved since Reagan (who I happily voted for while in the Navy, btw). This is why I think it's highly unlikely that Dr. Sheehy would allow his name to be on a document saying something worked if he weren't absolutely sure that it did.
