Of course he was correct. Obama purged all the good generals and admiral and kept only the political hacks. That's part of the reason the military is in such poor shape today after eight years of that fool.
“It’s also a fact that a number of our general officers, not all of them but a number of them, were asked to leave before what would normally be accepted as the routine tenure for that particular position, and General Mattis is a case in point who had very strong views on Iran. Most of us agree with those views but I know the administration did not agree with them.General Flynn, who you know very well and had on your show, was an outspoken proponent for understand radical Islam, how dangerous this particular threat was and was trying to communicate that, he was not able to server out his full tenure. So yes, that’s another fact that we can substantiate, that there were generals who did leave earlier than what their tenure would be and the characteristic they all shared together is they did disagree with the administration on various points.”

In the Army we have a saying, SUCK IT UP AND DRIVE ON. Evidently these General Officers got their feelings hurt because the civilian leadership didn't do everything they wanted.
Maybe these General Officers forgot who was ultimately in charge: The American People.

Kinda ironic since Trump himself only tolerates yes men in his immediate surroundings.
