I ask this because to me it appears that the leadership of said services is made up of political apointees, not veteran career officers. If this is so, then what is bad about doing the same thing Obama did and apointing the people he could trust?

There's nothing bad about it. The Left will say anything to de-legitimatize Trump. He could personally cure cancer and they would have nothing good to say about it and neither will they about anyone Trump nominates. Too bad for them that they exercised the nuclear option to eliminate filibusters when they were in charge of Congress.
As for political appointees, most of them are purged when the White House changes hands. There are a few like the FBI director that are appointed for a set period of time (10 years I think) but rarely do they stay on through a change in administration.
