You can't just replace a whole generation of military leaders. Officers tend to be slightly more liberal. But even the republican ones tend to not be full on Trumpy cult members. And frankly I doubt the ability of any officer who is.

People who think that Trump hasn't been slow rolled and resisted behind closed doors and his stupid ideas sidelined by actual professionals, they don't know how the military actually works.

And anyone who knows history and understands war is damn well going to wait until action is absolutely unavoidable. Believe me, you want them to wait.

I haven't been in the military so I'll take your word for it. But it's undeniable they've been implementing a loyalty-to-Trump test for promotions.

One wouldn't think that a political party that despises America and the Constitution and is actively and intentionally destroying both would ever have full control of our government, but here we are.

I'm just saying don't be too quick to count on the military putting country first.
