Military personnel swear an oath to the Constitution, not to any person or party. Trump's dismissals of senior leaders may test this principle across all ranks, according to a retired major general in the U.S. Air Force.

At what point does the POTUS succeed in destroying the USA in a similar fashion to them actually working for a foreign enemy country, before anyone actually does anything?
It depends how long it takes for the US armed forces to recognise that Trump and his regime are Enemies of The State & of The US Constitution and that they took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Only a President who is such an enemy would do what Trump has.
We witness not routine personnel changes but a fundamental reordering of military principles. The test extends beyond generals to every rank whether their ultimate loyalty belongs to constitutional principles or to the commands of a single man.

Can any American give me the names of 2 Trump cabinet members who are considered not complete idiots and reasonably intelligent?
I cannot.
