A few words US servicement ought to remember.
"I don't know what a Philadelphia lawyer might say, but I know what I mean by Country. It is the Constitution! 'Just the greatest document ever written by man' according to an English Prime Minister. You know why we serve the Constitution? Simple! Recall what you said when you got your first commission or got a promotion. You take an oath to God 'to support the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.' We are fighting for our great Constitution. We are not fighting for any man, president, senator, congressman nor potentate. This is what I mean by Country."
George S. Patton

That's interesting Nic.
It could be true.
Given this President and his administration.
It doesn't surprise me.
After, the last four years.

Mattis disagreed in general with his civilian higher-ups about strategy and current reduction of capability at Centcom, he harped about it incessantly, and they let him go for that, I think that's all there is to it.
