Questions concerning the appointment and removal of military leadership

During the admin of President Obama, a number of generals were removed from military service.
depending on where I look the number varies, maybe it is 170, maybe 197.

What is the exact number? and
How does that number compare with that from other administrations?

Does the number reflect undue political/cultural influence on the military? Or, is the number misleading as the true level of interference was more/less than the number of dismissals indicates?
What if any are the long term implications?

    all those traitors in the pentagon
    do they really think their pensions will have any worth when it all falls apart????

    as they sit on their hands, not keeping their Oaths???

    0bama was removing those that would not follow his dictates, those that might keep their Oaths

      "0bama was removing those that would not follow his dictates, those that might keep their Oaths" That has been my understanding and the purge of non-leftist generals continued under Biden as well. Sad to say, Trump had an opportunity to reverse the Obummer damage, but didn't manage to do so - the rats went into hiding or too much C-19 distraction maybe?

        Comments/reports I see are that to get the boot a senior officer just had to give an opinion, opinions from experience were not wanted. But is that due to the way reports are made? eg the msm would not report a booting, 'nothing to see hear'.

        Like trans personnel?
        Putin has long pointed out he does not allow trans personnel in his ranks, it harms moral.
        He looks upon the US military as weak for allowing it.
        He's not wrong.
        Recruitment is down, way down. Any wonder why?

    Have you people seen the ads asking 'seniors' to enlist in the military? Makes me wanna barf. Warriors are supposed to be young and energetic and a bit on the stupid side. Mother of two warriors and wife on one hero. nb

        On a superficial view, no difference, on a careful detailed view, both are equally fighting for their own gang to control the milking machine.

        I am optimistic to believe, there is a difference, a matter of points, not a knock-out.

    All good comments. But does anyone have figures, how many?
    Are the figures significant for the US army? Or the military of other nations?

    I've come across a report that Trudeau had a big sacking session in Canada's armed forces, the main excuse was 'sexual indiscretion'!

    I monitor the Navy side closely, and am totally unaware of this happening. However, and the highest levels 3 and 4 stars, the selection process is no doubt biased.

    General Miley and Navy Secretary Carlos DelToro are CLEARLY spending considerable time grooming masculinity and nationalism out of the armed services. This is absolutely for sure.
