it has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with moving on from the entrenched relationships between the military and the big four prime contractors, so that a modern military can be fast and nimble with their acquisitions processes, and venture capitalists can deploy into smaller startups without Lockheed Martin keeping competitors at bay because of their stranglehold on archaic compliance mechanisms and preferred relationships.

I'm not arguing that Trump's not trying to consolidate power, of course he is. But the firing of military top brass has nothing to do with it. He already made that play with the courts.
