IMO one cannot deny that the military that existed under the previous President is the same one now led by the new President. And yet something was different. Ever been a boss and do things differently and perhaps better than the previous boss? Or had a new boss that improved things? The company was probably the same but but somehow things changed. Regardless of who is in power leadership can make a difference. Morale might play a part but far more important is the concept of delegation and non or absolutely minimal interference in how the task one has ordered others to do are carried out. The boss should pay attention to the results and if the person you expected to deliver the results did not do so and there are no good reason why the person should be relieved. Bush recently said he gave Tony Franks a job to do and it will be over when Franks tell him it is. Appears Bush understands delegation. Can imagine how hard it is for some in any political party to understand that the president not trying to make many decisions about who, when and where to attack or not attack once the overall task is determined, can lead to a better outcome. Difficult for most of us to keep our egos in check and not try to prove to others that our input is crucial. So with the same forces as existed under the previous Commander in Chief a better job was done. This time the military did not choose to lob missiles at an aspirin factor nor at tents and camels. Did the military really choose such targets in the past, or did they have "help" in their selection?
