@Jeremynano By top military officials, I mean active members who are at the top of the chain of command. So we are talking about people who works for the government. They have access to the most advanced capabilities and are required by the government to use it to protect hundreds and hundreds of millions of Americans from harm, whether at home or abroad. They also have the duty to protect military personnel deployed in partner countries.
So In other words, on a daily basis, these are the people who know what's really going on in the world and what tomorrow will be like because they're the ones providing real time information to Congress and the president about what the heck is going on. in fact they have advisors who gives ideas how they should address this situation. Eventhough I don't personally know what their decisions are, in a glampse, I can tell where this is heading.
On the one hand, I understand that the students' opinion is to stop and cease fire because innocent people should not die, and that Israel must approach this differently, while also preventing innocent people from dying and terror from expanding. On the other hand, I don't think we can or should dictate what a country can or cannot, when it considers innocent people in Israel and their livelihoods to be at risk from proxies.

@Jeremynano I think I must have written it wrong... you asked two questions, one, who are these senior officials protecting? They protect hundreds and hundreds of millions of Americans from harm, whether at home or abroad. They also have a duty to protect their military personnel deployed in partner countries.
Second question, and who exactly do these senior military officers work for? Answer, they work for the US government using advanced technologies to provide real time information to Congress and the President about what is happening around the world, including Gaza, Israel, South Africa, Ukraine, Europe, etc. The US military have advisors who give ideas or options on how the president or Congress should approach or approve a bill related to this situation.
