Considering that in the rural areas of Turkey, with Muslim men being allowed to have more then one wife and with larger families, this comes as now surprise.

Big question, will the military end up having to do a “house cleaning”?

Once upon a time, the military might have done that. But Erdogan is very canny, and they have been purging the military virtually since the Islamists took over. IIRC, a few months ago, they removed some huge number of high ranking officers and charged them with treason. I think the charges were later dropped, but the officers are no longer in the army. So I don’t know if the military as it is now would oppose the Turkish government.
