Defense: The firing of two nuclear commanders in a week adds to a body count that suggests we have either the most corrupt and incompetent general staff in history or our military is being reshaped for other purposes.
The Obama administration, which has fired no one over scandals such as its Fast and Furious Mexican gun-running operation, its criminal negligence in the terrorist attack on our Benghazi diplomatic mission, or the use of the IRS to target and intimidate political foes, seems to have a curious obsession lately about ethics and competence in the U.S. military.
Last week the Air Force's two-star general in charge of the units responsible for its 450 nuclear missiles was fired "due to a loss of trust and confidence in his leadership and judgment," an Air Force statement said.
Maj. Gen. Michael Carey had commanded the 20th Air Force, responsible for the three wings that maintain control of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles scattered in missile silos across the northern plains.
The statement added that the decision to relieve Carey was based on information from an inspector general investigation into Carey's alleged behavior during a temporary duty assignment, which is the military's term for business travel. It was said to have nothing to do with the operational readiness of the ICBM force or recent failed inspections of ICBM units.
Carey's removal comes on the heels of President Obama's personal removal of the No. 2 officer at U.S. Strategic Command, which among other things oversees the military's nuclear forces. Vice Adm. James Giardina had earlier been suspended from that command after a criminal probe into his potential use of counterfeit poker chips at an Iowa casino.

If you ain’t a fag, you’re gone!
There is something else up here. Something about a nuclear weapons transfer out of a base in Texas. Things not where they were supposed to be, and missing paperwork.
Well, if you want to put your own (compliant) people in charge ...
I’m pretty sure they’re being replaced by loyal, mentally stable individuals who will not think or question orders.
“Obama’s Curious Purge Of The Military Continues”
Nothing curious about it - it is simply the left taking over the last institution they didn’t control - one of the keystones in the “fundamental transformation of America”.
Putting Muslims in high places so when the time comes, they will turn on the American people?
Do you mean like Vallerie , or Van Jones ?
Linsey Graham made a bizarre statement some weeks back that if we didn’t intervene in Syria, NC might be nuked.
They will be replaced by women. There is an increase in female commanders. Way more than their percentage of the military population.
I’ve been following what little has been released into the press,
There’s a lot more going on here than we know,
Scary times ahead,
Belshazzar is king of the USA and he wants to throw a party,
I think Maj. Gen. Michael Carey refused to acknowledge that he would fire upon American citizens so he is not needed.
I think the answer is simple. Obama is firing “disloyal” Generals and Admirals and replacing them with yes-men who will be willing to enforce the upcoming martial law and FEMA camps, and have no qualms about firing on “unruly” civilians.
I don’t think that the military is sacking enough misbehaving Generals and Admirals. Sacking of incompetent, dishonest, or immoral executives is a unique behavior of the military when compared with other government institutions. Criminal behavior by politicians and political appointees is not only tolerated, but encouraged. This level of corruption has thankfully not yet extended to the uniform services. God help us if it ever does.

TDY is business travel? LOL, my seat in the C130 35 years ago was definitely not business class.
If this is the case he ought to go public.
Valerie gives him his orders.
I agree with you.
Be prepared for : "We were only following orders !! "
Maybe that broken arrow ‘transfer’ from Minot to LA a few years back was a dry run.
Generals don’t fly cattle class.
She is the suspenders , who keeps his pants up , and reminds him to close his fly .
Obama means to transform the military along with his dedicated social transformation of America. Obama wants absolute power over the military, just as every fascist cheief executive did throughout history.
Anyone who is a traditional military man, or has conventional views on American patriotism and the constitution is vetted politically and given the thumbs up or down.Thise with a thumbs down are given the tender mercies of a surreptitious investigation, and any weakness is used as an excuse for demotion, early retirement, or public scandal. This is the Alinsky method of governance
used by Obama and his running dogs.
This is a good read which will tell you what it is that America is about to face:
” Barrack Obama, the Quintessential Fascist.”

You know lets don’t go down that women are crappy road. How about its more likely that the Muzzie lovin Commie is going to replace all these red blooded American generals with his own sychophants. For what reasons I can only shudder.
Just for the record Mr. GG2’s nephew is working for a 3 star woman Army general right now. He has 2 PHD’s and he says she is a dynamo and he loves working for her.
“If this is the case he ought to go public”
That’s what all the whistle blowers thought.
We have been fundamentally changed.

he needs only people happy to turn weapons on us citizens, and who will work with the foreign troops that will help out disarming people under martial law.
Coincidentally, I think that happened the same damn day!
women are far more likely to go along with authority/orders.
though most of these are lesbians so maybe not as much as real women.
I agree, thanks for the link.
I was assigned TDY as a driver for General Patton IV when he commanded the 2ndAD. He flew cattle class in choppers constantly. Guy loved chopper. One of the good commanders imo.

I think it is important to talk out loud about what Hussians reasons are for replacing and changing the military. Many people say that dictators do this before a government takeover in order to have the military aligned with the dictator and against the people.
What does anyone else think?
If people think that our president is thinking of turning the military against our citizens, we need to think some more.

I can’t forget something I read once and have been unable to find the quote ever since...but this was the gist of it, either by Lenin or Stalin.
“when the people get hungry enough they’ll take anything you give them”.
I believe this is the situation Obama has planned for us.
Obama has no trouble firing Military Personnel ,but he never fires the crooks from his Administration
He wants to creative a military that reflects his ideology. Completely transform the most conservative, traditional values institution in the country.

“when the people get hungry enough they’ll take anything you give them”.
Resist we Much!
Don’t see too many male generals crying in front of the troops.
He didn't have any trouble firing Rick Wagoner from GM.
who want to bet they’re purging Conservatives in the military in top positions. Maybe they’re using NSA info to filter them out
An excellent article by Duke.
Every point he makes is backed up by 0bama’s actions since elected and his pathetic friends over the years.
Not sure about the lesbian angle. They are still under cover as far as I can tell.

I’ll take “our military is being reshaped for other purposes” for $800, Alex.
I'm guessing they're mostly or all lesbians.
Did someone call for me?
