Let me see if I can explain it.

"the whole article had an officer's slant to it."

What is an officer's slant? Do they get together every year at the Officer's Secret Meeting to Plot Against the Troops (OSMTPAT) and have the Slant Committee put forth slant ideas and then vote on the Officer's Slant for the Year? (OSY04) Is it a secret or open ballot?

Officers are among those leaving.

That is a baseless comment painting a large and diverse group with a very broad brush. IMO of course.
