Fox News: SEN TAMMY DUCKWORTH: Why Trump's pattern of purging our highest-performing military officers is dangerous

This approach undermines meritocracy within the military and fosters an environment where loyalty to the president supersedes commitment to the Constitution and effective leadership.
