I am throwing my support behind Wesley Clark (not merely because of this, that is, but it's a good quote).

"If [Republican strategist] Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families -- and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty -- by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it," Clark said.

From what I gather, there are people in the military who look down upon political ambition in military officers, because allegedly this indicates they're in it for themselves, less so for the soldiers, sailors, and Marines. I suspect that's the sort of thing that makes sense in the gut, but isn't necessarily true in any particular case. But if you're hearing this from officers who know Clark, but don't necessarily compete with him, then you might give it some clout.
