Why are so many generals getting the axe?

Ever notice how no cabinet members in the Obama Administration are ever fired (the names Holder, Rice, Sibelius spring to mind), but in the last year nine senior generals have been fired? I wonder why that is?

According to a report from The Blaze:

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, said the White House fails to take action or investigate its own, but finds it easy to fire military commanders “who have given their lives for their country.”

Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama’s ideology,” Vallely said. “The White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He’s intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.”..........

Filling the military with Homo’s Putting women in Combat positions, Firing any General or Flag Officer with balls, Training the military in controlling domestic situations, while training Al Qaeda in Syria.

Think about it. It is scary..

Benghazi, Syria, Egypt, Iran, treatment of Israel by Obama, and his integrity is worth crap. So the only way to feel better is to remove those with honor, courage, and duty.

They were fired because they would not fire upon,
or incincerate, or nuke, ... Americans.

Meanwhile, the US Congress laughs, drinks, and seeks
wenches and money for THEMSELVES.

It’s that darned “enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC” thingy in their oath that appears to be the problem.

I guess you can call it self-defense for Barry’s Peeple.

no- no- no — someone has already posted this morning on the large amount of Generals being dismissed...I was only a CPT up until first part of OCT — I got my orders I was no longer needed - given an honorable cert - and that was that....he’s getting rid of anyone patriotic and Christian...that is standing up and saying during their security interviews that illegal orders will not be followed! He’s clearing the way...

Yeap - this post -— the military is being cut...I no longer have a position in the intel task force I was working in...he cut that bad boy 60% and he’ll probably cut more in the intel...he’s relying on cyber hacking at this point and NSA surveillance....I can tell you - I’m looking for somewhere to go at this point...

One reason so many top ranking officers are getting in the news is because there are too many top ranking officers.

The military is incredibly and inexcusably top heavy. How long until a tug boat captain is an Admiral?

Yep. I’m in an INSCOM unit, and we’re getting hacked to the bone. INSCOM’s trying to reorganize to limit the effects, so we’ll see...
