I have posted a thousand times there are no or nowhere near enough generals and admirals active duty or retired for Trump to be firing dozens of generals and admirals to find others -- who do not exist -- to put in place because they would be "willing to play ball." There aren't any as I have posted dozens of times over this period of time.
Trump-Hegseth have removed the top legal officer of each major service, the Army, Navy, Air Force. He removed the black chairman of the JCS and the gal uniformed chief of the Navy. They removed a couple of two-star officers whose careers are closely bound to promoting DEI programs and features. That's it. There is no mass purge occurring.
The culture of the USA military remains strong. All Trump and Hegseth are doing is focusing on DEI, nothing much more than that. The armed forces have refused to do Trump's wet dream "mass deportation" because it was foreseen the active duty force would be the targets of street protests right now instead of ICE and other federal goons doing the work. The military will not do Trump's "mass roundup" of Trump's "enemy within" liberals to be placed in camps then deported.
The armed forces will not shoot unarmed civilians on its own soil no matter. Trump-Hegseth are doing very poorly at changing the culture of the USA armed forces starting with these three vital and signal matters on which the military stands firm in the absolute. -- no deportation, no roundup of liberals and no shooting unarmed civilisans. Trump's parade on the 250th anniversary of the Army to include on Trump's 79th birthday is a Mulligan to him from the Pentagon -- no one gets hurt although a lot of good money is going after bad.
Everything that is happening today in 2025 contradicts what you are saying. It's not helpful to live in denial; it's dangerous.
