Gen McMaster was active duty and could not turn down the NSA job without leaving the Army, he probably thought that it was better for the country to have at least one adult in the room than the barrel of monkeys ( my apologies to monkeys) currently swinging around the white house. Personally he was in a Lose/Lose situation, his motivation was more than likely to keep the country from destruction

Think about it, all military is not evil and many have sacrificed life, limb, mental health, family and finances to serve this country. Gen McMaster is one of them

BTW, this comes from the vantage point of an Paratrooper Enlisted Medic, Armor Officer, Son/Grandson of a long line of Officers & father of a West Point grad active duty officer. As any organization the military has faults and all members have their failings. Gen McMaster is not perfect in anyway; but, I would not attack his character
