Trump purging the military...12 - 20 Generals removed.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal (2010) – He was dismissed as commander in Afghanistan after a Rolling Stone article quoted him and his staff making disparaging remarks about Obama administration officials. This was a high-profile case of a general being fired for public insubordination and damaging trust
Obama fired a hell of a lot more than one General.
 
The problem with generals during peace time is, you don't know how they would perform during a time of war.

President Lincoln was all too aware of this problem as he went through general after general until he could find one that actually could fight and produce results.

But until a time of war, they are basically just political stooges.
Not if they have already been in command during a war or conflict and many of these men have.
