Yes but it's worth understanding the executive branch (which according to this administration includes all federal agencies), in its constitutional form, is more or less just an extension of the president. Conceptually they all "perform at the pleasure of" the person of the president. The "balance" and "disagreement" can happen outside of the executive, in the legislative or judicial branches. Definitely not how I would run an organization (even a military organization), but it's not _conceptually_ wrong. If you were a general and you had lieutenants expressing "hostility to" your agenda, would you keep them on? Again, I'd probably say yes up to a limit, but it's not outside of a generals purview to concern themselves with this.
