Obama Purging and Transforming Our Military

197 HIGH RANKING MILITARY OFFICERS ALREADY PURGED FROM THE MILITARY BY OBAMA


>" President Obama hasn’t just been hollowing out the military since taking office, he’s been gutting it, purging it of ideologically hostile personnel, and fundamentally transforming it into something other than a war-fighting force, military experts say.

Although few with military ties are willing to say it openly, it seems the administration is leading an orchestrated effort to seriously undermine the readiness of the military. Some reports indicate that Obama has purged 197 senior military officers since moving into the White House and that many of the retired officers have been harassed at their new civilian jobs for criticizing the president’s policies. The effects of these purges will be felt long after Obama leaves office.

This is, of course, the same through-the-looking-glass administration that goes out of its way not to label actual Islamic terrorists as terrorists, that calls terrorist attacks “man-caused disasters,” and refers to the Global War on Terror as the “Overseas Contingency Operation.”

The dangers from restaffing the military with own choice officers is obvious. How does this compare with the behavior of other Presidents?

There are no other Presidents that you can compare to.

The vast majority of these flag and even field commanders have been relived of their commands are political because they weren't politically correct enough for Obama's liking.

197 high ranking officers purged ! Uncomparable to any other President in history. Usually a general or admiral are relieved from their commands when they wont take the fight to the enemy. FDR spent most of 1942 doing that and it was only a dozen or so who were removed from their commands but not fired from the military.

You should have asked "How does this compare with the behavior of other world leaders" ?
Obama is doing exactly what Joseph Stalin did. Purging the Soviet army's officer corps. Redefining the purpose and character of the army and embedding political officers with in the army.

This is exactly what Obama has been doing. Right out of Stalins playbook.

Today we now in the first time in the history of the U.S. military have political officers. They are known as diversity officers.

Your watching history being made, the U.S. military is being politicized.
 
Did they do anything to deserve it? You know he might just be doing what he should be. How do you know is it just political? My CO told me once anything over Major was so damn policital it wasnt worth it. He retired a Major by the way.
 
Sure.... A couple.....197 not so much.
This is clearly agenda driven.
