Air Force sacks two commanders in Europe
Stars and Stripes ^ | 3/17/14 | Adam L. Mathis

Two U.S. Air Force commanders in the 422nd Air Base Group at RAF Croughton have been relieved over a loss of confidence in their abilities.

Col. Charles Hamilton, who commanded the base group since 2011, and Lt. Col. Matthew Olson, who commanded the 422nd Communications Squadron since July, were relieved of command on Thursday by the 501st Combat Support Wing commander after an investigation, officials said.

“It was loss of confidence in the commanders’ abilities to lead their units in the best interest of the Air Force,” spokesman Capt. Brian Maguire said in an e-mail. “This action was more about leadership style and organizational climate than a specific event.”

Not very gay friendly, I’d imagine.

My first guess would be that it was discovered that they honor God before the sandmaggot in chief.

Lots of senior officers being sacked by this administration. Something fishy about all this.

Two more for the list.

This raises the total verifiable possibly to 39.

Loss of confidence in Communism and tyranny.

Bear in mind this is the Air Force. The officers in question may be guilty of high golf scores.

Yep, they were probably out of date men of God, honored and value God, Country and duty.

No room in the Obozo Thugs’s military for such outdated thoughts.

re: Air Force sacks two commanders in Europe

I hear the Air Force has sent recruiters to The French Quarter, searching for a couple of transsexuals to replace them.

Purging Christians?
Promoting homos?

That would be my guess. The continued, total faggotization of the military.

In all my years I never ever recall hearing about so many senior military officers getting sacked. It seems to me that something sinister is going on, however, one FReeper previously advised me not to worry as supposedly the military is very top-heavy with senior officers so ostensibly things are just evening out.

Not sure if this is all true or not. IMO, something ain't right. Even Bill Clinton, who's disdain for the military was legendary, never sacked so many senior officers.

Another internal Coup D’e-Tat in our military. got to get rid of those who are not loyal to the socialists, commies that are running this country.

Yes, it would seem that this is the purpose. Why? In part because the military has typically been strongly Conservative and voted that way. Now, Obama can break that tradition and have a military that is pro-sodomy and supports Democrats.

Recall how Democrats have used signed statements from retired military leaders in the past to advance whatever position they were supporting? How about testifying before Congress? Now, we'll have a bunch of lavender types singing out of the Democrat's hymn book.

There is a deliberate transformational reason Obama is targeting the military. Once the bedrock of American conservatism, it is being transformed into one big social experiment complete with homosexual parties.

When I hear of high ranking military being fired I automatically wonder if obama is somehow involved.

No way Obama would get involved in firing officers of these ranks: he couldn't spell "colonel" to save his life.

IMO, he'd spell it "kernal".

Without any proof, I am willing to bet $$ on the continuing leftist purge.

Irony alert: If/when the Russians continue their imperialist expansion westward, our leftist, LGBT oriented military will get creamed along with the EU sissified armies.

Whatever Putin is, he’s NOT stupid.
