Said it before - Obama politicized the military and purged a lot of high-level military leaders during his 8 years. Those people will bring up like-minded people through the ranks.
What the heck happened with Mattis? He was this tough as nails military man that conservatives thought stood with Trump and would go along with his agenda. Not only did he not, but went against him even now publicly. It's been hard for Trump to find good military support. The pansies in some upper levels have fought him on stuff instead of supporting things and been surprising liberal. I would've thought they were more conservative.
Money & Power that is what happened to MadDog Mattis. Watch the Theranos video and contemplate the ideas of no Foreign Wars and the impact it has on these people who make money from being advisors.
Your answer for Mattis and the old generals is very simple, they have been at war practically their entire lives couldn't fathom someone bringing the military-industrial complex to a screeching halt... After he hired Bolton I'm sure they were jumping for joy thinking this was their opportunity, but even then Trump was smart enough not to listen to Bolton....
They simply don't share Trump's vision of building the military up as strong as possible while expending every avenue we have without actually using said military to start a war...

I really liked Mattis, but hes an old war dog. Trump doesnt want more war and that caused the issue. It really is trump against the swamp!

Never liked him or Kelly. Bad vibes, war mongers, not loyal.

They don't agree with that at all.
That, combined with the fact that everyone in the leadership O-7 and up who was promoted during eight years of Obama is ideologically questionable.
The old school thinking then American money should be spent fortifying every spot on earth is over. America endless wars are over thanks to trump
