Obama Accused of Military 'Purge'

The United States military is being "purged" of officers suspected of disloyalty to or disagreement with the Obama administration, several sources charge.

"We recognize President Obama is the commander-in-chief and that throughout history presidents from Lincoln to Truman have seen fit to remove military commanders they view as inadequate or insubordinate," Investor's Business Daily (IBD) observed.

"Yet what has happened to our officer corps since President Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling, and even harmful to our national security posture."

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely believes Obama is "intentionally weakening and gutting our military and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged."

According to Breitbart.com, at least 197 officers, mostly at the rank of colonel or above, have been relieved of duty for a variety of reasons, or for no stated reason at all.

Nine senior commanding generals have been fired by the administration this year, "leading to speculation by active and retired members of the military that a purge of its commanders is underway," IBD reported.

Among those officers:

No question.

But 0 will lie, spin, or simply ignore the allegation away. With the willing help of the kneepad media, that is.

amazing when you consider that throughout history, whenever a dictator came to power, the first thing they did was purge the military.

Just as Erdogan did in Turkey, to prevent a coup, Obama is making sure that he is safe from that here, as well. It would be an unprecedented move here, but not in the ME. However, Obama is making sure that it cannot happen. He has found that people are afraid of Chicago-style threats so he can pretty much do as he pleases. IE. John Roberts, etc. who have been publicly warned not to come against Obama’s will. But, you realize that the democratic party does not see their leader as anything but a very successful man, as they have no problem with his methods. As someone spoke on Sirius radio today, a leftist that is, called in to say that he was pleased to always be in the winning party, drinking the champagne of success. He ridiculed the republicans for the tea party, saying that they’d never see success as long as the tea party had any influence. Democrats see winning as the only thing and the methods do not matter. Killing? Whatever it takes. Bribing? Whatever it takes. Of course, if it was a republican doing such, then it is wrong...but not a democrat. We are living in deadly times. Soon they will come for all of us for one reason or another. There will be no neighbor who will speak out for us b/c of fear that they would be next, or that they see nothing wrong...if we’re being tortured/imprisoned, we must deserve this. This is what it is coming to, I’m afraid.

Politics is war without bloodshed. War is politics with bloodshed.

If they come for me, I'll do what I have to do. Legal or not.

Secret Service agents are sworn to defend the Constitution. Why haven’t some of them come forward?

Maybe something is in the works and they’re coordinating it with former CIA, Justice, etc.

Loss of retirement benefits would be next followed probably by a massive heart attack or maybe the heart attack would come first.

The job of the secret service is to protect the president, damn the constitution.

Pete Sentilli called the secret service about Obama’s eligibility:

Then he called the FBI:

Very amazing. Remember when we wondered how the Germans in the ‘20s were so blind?
