I don't trust a government entity to be "independent" or "non-partisan."
This is unfortunate perspective, but I can understand why many would have this view.
As others have stated, for the overwhelming majority of the career Civilian and Military workforce, partisanship is a third rail topic at best.
I've been in government service as a military officer or civilian for about half of my working life and being vocally partisan is just not something that is institutionally tolerated, is actively frowned upon and in certain cases unlawful.

I wonder how we could change that perception.
