Our flag officers *must* realize that their Community Organizer-In-Chief has a white hot (no pun intended) contempt for them as well as the Armed Forces in general.The ambitious ones will have figured out how to advance over the next four years.The dedicated,patriotic ones know they don't have a prayer while Osama Obama’s in office
To: Nachum
I’ll wager that Osama has a *particular* contempt for the Marine Corpse,which could explain the reason for this move.
To: Nachum
Gen Mattis never pulled any punches. That is why his Marines would crawl through hell dragging a gasoline bladder for him. His greatest quote comes during the Iraqi insugency when he met with Sunni tribal leaders.
“I come to you with tears in my eyes, I bring no artillery, but if you phuck with me I will kill you all”

A shakeup of generals and admirals has been going on since last year. I imagine Obama is replacing them with more politically reliable butt kissers.

Well, he's gone. One of the last good ones.
And if you really want to get depressed, read this:
Marines studying mindfulness-based training
" CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) -- The U.S. Marine Corps, known for turning out some of the military's toughest warriors, is studying how to make its troops even tougher through meditative practices, yoga-type stretching and exercises based on mindfulness. Marine Corps officials say they will build a curriculum that would integrate mindfulness-based techniques into their training if they see positive results from a pilot project. Mindfulness is a Buddhist-inspired concept that emphasizes active attention on the moment to keep the mind in the present."

Our flag officers *must* realize that their Community Organizer-In-Chief has a white hot (no pun intended) contempt for them as well as the Armed Forces in general.Officers of flag rank, no matter what branch of service, are political appointees. They owe their rank - and their pay, benefits and RETIREMENT packages - to The Won.
All they have to do it continue their public support for the Politburo and, just like their Soviet counterparts, they will have their dachas and their pensions in a few years.
Follow the money. When someone says it's not about the money, it's about the money.

Wrong. The services competitively promote through O-8 (two stars). Beyond that, they are political appointees and their rank reverts to O-8 upon their retirement unless the Senate allows them to keep the higher rank. Obama has simply made the process far worse. He is systematically destroying our military. He hates the military because it is everything he is not: dutiful, honorable, godly, brave, patriotic. This pitiful man knows deep down he's a cowardly, bullying putz.

Or officers who would order their troops to fire on American citizens if "things turn in an ugly direction" and Obama deems it necessary.

Useful idiots should send in their applications ASAP.
To: Nachum
Is this a part of Obama's flexibility deal with Putin, to fire all our top military leaders?
