Can we deduct carpet replacement after tenants destroyed carpet in rental? We had to move in immediately after tenants moved out due to military move.

No. If you had kept the house as a rental, the carpet would have been a deductible expense. But after the tenants left you converted the house to personal use and the expense is not deductible.
