I suspect they want that one to work while they do not want others to work. Military already got less qualified loyalists placed on leadership positions and experienced skilled people were let go.

But they won't do the mass firings designed to incapacitate it.

Pilots are among our most highly-trained warfighters. They have ample opportunity in industry. And they're smart. If SecDef is guiding counterfire to your takeoffs (and then finding himself unable to apologise for it) you will reconsider whether what you're doing is the best use of your life.

The explicit aim of DOGE was demotivation. That's exactly what this debacle has done.
