I assume he's still in office because the administration likes his shitty decisions. The fact that he'd prefer to reduce the recruiting base even as the military is struggling to find recruits only underlines his inability to reconcile his beliefs with reality. He belongs in the recycle bin. But he serves the purposes of this administration, so he stays.
He's bad for the country.

He's still in office because his boss equates celebrity with competence.
And, yeah, the 'shitty decisions' thing, too.
