<<Unless i misunderstood you , you said the magazine is discriminating in what it publishes and would not publish an article unless it was consistent with the viewpoint and standards of the editorial staff.>>

Misunderstood me AND misquoted me, unfortunately.  I never said "viewpoint." 

By "standards," I meant nothing more than general editorial standards of relevance and interest to magazine's readers, factual correctness of the article, degree of authority of the writer, organization of subject matter, coherence, novelty, weeding out plagiarism and plagiarists, etc.

I have been in the US military .

I have re-read that essay.

I might have been  wrong, the essay describes  a long process in which the US officer corps is lead through a  change to become an entity that could revolt.

So what it is , is not what is being described , but what it could become in a scenario that would horrify any US soldier as they are.

I thought that was exactly it: A cautionary tale.  A very explicit worst-case scenario.
