Let's dumb down the military so that they follow orders without question, perfect!

Uh oh. Can't have thinking people in positions where they might think. Critical thinking skills are scary for stupid people.

Whiskey Pete doesn't want any woke (read "intelligent") officers that MIGHT be smart enough to START refusing illegal orders.

That’s what happens when you put an unqualified cosplaying tough military soldier into a position of power. He doesn’t want smart, qualified, knowledgeable people in the military, so he can get away with his crimes. Also, taking away higher education for active duty military members is terrifying. They gain critical thinking skills that will benefit everyone who serves, instead of being robots.
