“No way Obama would get involved in firing officers of these ranks”

Sure, he would. He’s taken care of general officers and now it is time to get busy on the field commanders that give the troops the orders. That is extremely important for his plans to work.

must be two more officers who believe in their oath to protect and defend the US. The mulsim fraud in the WH can't have that.

I agree with you. There is an all out war on the best men, the ones who have made their way up the ranks (before the Clinton years). Since then, many of the Clinton elite have been waiting in the wings and now they are being put into the positions of power. Ideology trumps military expertise.

CULT OF PERSONALITY

Remember all of the discussion about how the military would respond to any orders to fire on the American citizenry issued by a rouge President?

Would the generals be loyal to their oath to protect the constitution or would they be loyal to an unlawful order from a C-in-C like Obama?

Well, Obama is well on the way to eliminating any doubt.

A lot of people have lost confidence in the LIAR in chief. He needs to be relieved of his comand, too.

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.

“This action was more about leadership style and organizational climate than a specific event.”

Obviously ONLY a Political move NOT based on ability. The Military is now almost completely bastardized.

They’re gone because they would refuse to bomb patriots in Darlington, SC.

“got to get rid of those who are not loyal to the socialists, commies that are running this country.”

While there is undoubtedly going to be a lot of shakedown in the ranks simply due to budget cuts and a transition to a bargain-basement peacetime (re: prewar and ineffective) military, one should always be conscious that the left’s hatred of the military is partly due to the realization that loyal members of the military have held off socialist revolutions in a number of countries.

Progressives realize that if they want to radically transform the nation they need to FIRST remove society’s final safety valves - a moral and upright military and an armed citizenry.

The leftists aren’t going to soon forget what an effective force patriots in the military can be. The Spanish civil war and Pinochet’s Chile stand as warning signs to radical socialist revolutionaries everywhere. They’ll make damn sure they gut the military and install their own political officers before the social revolution gets off the ground.

“Not very gay friendly, I’d imagine.”
********************************************************************

I’d suspect that also. I can find no indication that Colonel Angela Cadwell (the commander who fired the two officers) has a (male) husband—and I suspect she has a certain agenda that the two fired men did not share.

This purging appears to be part of a trend.
