It is becoming obvious...

Pres-elect Trump does not seem to care about the security of the Country.

To the contrary, he seems to want to sow chaos into the military.

Why?

Possibly to make America a weak counter to his apparent master, Pres Putin.

Of course, that raises the question, just what does Pres Putin have on Pres-elect Trump that the former seems to have such a level of control over the latter?

As a corollary...

What do foreign interests have over the trump nominees to the point tht the Trump campaign does not want background checks to unearth?

And Pres-elect Trump seems to be concerned about trans folk in the military?

imo, he has much larger personnel issues to be concerned about.
