I'm not so sure I'd agree with that. Isn't the difference just a matter of scale?
As for the illegality issue, were these retired officers still on the Pentagon's payroll? I understood they were being paid by the Networks and, in some cases, by defense contractors.
It does not strike me as the same thing as the example you are using.
