Purging the ranks of the military for ideological reasons is generally an incredibly stupid idea, but this is beyond that. They're literally purging people for not subscribing to their alternate reality. The administration wants the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities to have been effective, despite evidence showing they were not as effective as the administration had hoped, and anybody who doesn't just accede to the administration's counterfactual statements gets thrown out?
The thing is, the only people who want to stick around are the people who are so incompetent that they'll go along with anything you want them to, *OR* they're sticking around because they're corrupt fucks with self-serving interests in mind. I recall reading that Putin's cronyism in the military led to corruption on such a wide scale that many military units fighting in Ukraine had fake explosives. That's sad, and it's going to happen to us soon.
Just want to point out those arent the ONLY people sticking around. But the choice is very quickly being taken away from people.
