Why Are Dozens Of High Ranking Officers Being Purged From The U.S. Military?
The American Dream ^ | January 16, 2014 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 03/14/2014 4:15:52 AM PDT by ilovesarah2012

Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking military officers have been removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the “purge” of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years. So why is this happening? When I was growing up, my father was an officer in the U.S. Navy. And what is going on right now is absolutely crazy – especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to “reshape” the military and remove those that don’t adhere to the proper “viewpoints”? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won’t “cooperate” out of the way? Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a “military purge” is never good. If this continues, what is the U.S. military going to look like in a few years?

Perhaps you are reading this and you think that “purge” is too strong a word for what is taking place. Well, just consider the following quotes from some very highly decorated retired officers…

Look, Obama isn’t a complete idiot.
He understands that in order to cripple our military, the best and brightest of the officers need to be removed.

When Obama’s treason becomes clear, it will be a Colonel’s revolution.

The military forces are all downsizing right now.

From the article at the link: According to the Blaze, one anonymous Pentagon official has said that even young officers have been told “not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House”…

There is nothing unusual about that. Military personnel are not supposed to criticize the commander in chief; their involvement in politics is supposed to be very limited.

And he needs to get rid of Christians and fill the ranks with sexual deviants. And he needs to reduce the number. If a major war does break out, and I think it will, we are screwed.

It is what leftists do. Carter did it. Clinton did it. Even Truman did it. Clinton's purge involved more officers in all the services than the kenyan has taken out so far. The kenyan's purge is, however, accompanied by a much more severe hobbling of the military than has been done previously, what with replacing soldiers and commanders with women and queers. The infantry is rapidly descending into uselessness which is a big spur to the use of drones.
Leftist rulers of all types fear the regulal military and always seek to render it "safe." Dictators are regularly removed by small country's militaries and eftists with their dictatorial aspirations fear the military by example as well as because the military is always a bastion of conservative thought. Really ambitious leftists try to replace the military with a praetorian guard that is beholden to the ruler personally. The kenyan has done that. The effects are being felt by the population in airports and now trains and now on the highway and in the rapidly increasing use of SWATNAZ attacks for what used to be routine police work as well as for random attacks on citizens' homes.

The undocumented Indonesian Impostor Tyrant knows
they will not murder fellow Americans like HIS Communists
and terrorists and criminal illegals.

Obama wants America DEAD, and the patriots must
be removed before the final execution.

Too few chicks at their rank? Inability to mature and control their libidos?

I guess I didn't get that memo. Oh well.

In Obama’s mind, and the like minded left, the principle reason for the military is enforcing leftist hegemony at home. To do that puppets and brutes are needed.

It's part of the standard ethics/EO/whatever training that we all receive in basic training and every year thereafter. There was nothing specific to Obama that I am aware of.

We can’t campaign in any official capacity or attend marches while in uniform or speak for the military (all of this is null and void if you’re talking about attending gay pride events, of course), but we can still express individual views. Senior officers need to be pretty careful since they’re existence is inextricably intertwined with military policy.

That is the rule all right. But, it presupposes the CIC is Constitutionally legitimate and not a domestic enemy of the United States. Never forget, military personnel take an oath to “preserve and protect” the U.S. Constitution not the CIC. There is also nothing unusual about a tyrant purging those who he suspects may want to end his tyrannical reign.

POTUS is a POS anti-American that refuses to follow the constitution and makes up laws as he chooses.

Maybe POTUS is afraid a highly decorated, pro-constitutional America loving high ranking Officer did what he thought was right.

“Why Are Dozens Of High Ranking Officers Being Purged From The U.S. Military?”

Because they won’t kiss Bam’s tush. Wasn’t there a story going around about officers being quizzed as to whether or not they would fire on American citizens?

is this really that complicated to work out?
