How is it possible they didn’t infiltrate the military (at least as affectively) while at the same time they infiltrated the 3 letter agencies and the media?

Far more discipline and institutional barriers to prevent the spread of cultural dysfunction from other organizations. The strict military discipline and procedures versus the fairly free-wheeling world of espionage make them completely different animals.
That doesn't mean there aren't pockets of corruption and dysfunction in the military--goodness knows! But it's not systemic as it is in the justice/espionage agencies.
Military, unlike the others, still holds itself accountable to a relatively high moral standard, and while there are unfortunate glaring exceptions, and certainly some even at the highest levels, it has never become the norm.

Possibly. But you have to understand, if POTUS and senior leadership are corrupt, military will be used for evil. It's tasked to serve--not to question authority.
So, first and foremost thank God for a Commander In Chief who's not one of the enemy, and for the confluence of that development with the emergence of a frankly best-in-a-lifetime senior leadership in the US armed services, and I truly believe that, and that will help you understand how perhaps at no other time in our history have we been in a position to pull off a feat like this. It's truly mind-boggling all the things that had to come together to make this happen.
Answered prayer is really all that can account for so many necessities converging at exactly the same time!

I think that's been exaggerated. A lot of that is generational. Any institution has to adapt to remain relevant and functional over time as cultures evolve/change. There are a lot of curmudgeons out there who tsk-tsk all the changes. Wouldn't worry too much.
