>Are career generals like Mattis part of the problem
No, there are two types of career officers: warriors and politicians.
Political officers aren't good for service but they are basically boot lickers with no real loyalty.
Warriors are basically /k/ but good at it.
>I would say at the very least they're the reason why it's pozzed with diversity, and other liberal cancer such as homosexuals.
No, that is due to we the people letting libshits have control of the federal government for basically 30 years.
Bubba Clinton had a huge impact on the military, followed by no repair by GW, and in the third act we got B.H. Obummer who pretty much hated the type of people that believed in America and joined up.
Obummer fired any leadership he felt was disloyal to him personally and got rid of all the /k/ tier generals and let the bootlickers run things.
All this resulted in every little social justice concept that they could cook up being tried on service members.
A lot of good leaders tried to resist and just lost their jobs.
In the end, the military is just a department of the executive branch run by the president and a fish rots from the head.
