Every week there is some news story about General so-and-so stepping aside due to investigations. The Canadian Forces Reddit seems to be cheering this shit on, and saying that all of the senior people in the military need to be replaced. Anybody on here with time in have some perspective on what the fuck is going on?

It's a pendulum. It'll swing back. Just ask anyone who was around for the last Liberal party "racism and sexism" witch-hunts in the 90's.
It will continue to get worse as long as the Liberals are in power though. Their last reign was particularly hard on the military. They used the witch hunts to turn the public against the military thereby manufacturing public consent for gutting the military's budget. They called it the "decade of darkness".
Also keep in mind, the Liberals hate the military. This goes back at least as far Trudeau senior. They see the military as a concentration of patriotic conservative white males with guns. They're the Liberal's natural enemy.
