It's a wonder that our ICBMs can even get off the ground these days...

They're actually doing us a favor by identifying flag officers with common sense and spine, who will be the ones we need as the inevitable confrontation starts to turn hot.

And this comes after Obama said on Friday that women leaving the work force to raise their children is obviously a choice “we” don’t want women to make.

Why, oh, why can’t we let Obama be judged by the same measure by which he judges everybody else? None of us has confidence that he could lead a doodlebug, much less a world in turmoil from his own plan. The people who have failed to remove him from office have blood on their hands.

Sheets said Jones’s immediate superior, Colonel Tracey Hayes, removed Jones following an internal investigation that substantiated allegations of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and cruelty and maltreatment of a subordinate.

Colonel Hayes ..... not that there's anything wrong with that.

A more correct assessment/title:

“Obama’s Stasi purge two more military leaders for encouraging morals and decency.”

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purge_of_the_Red_Army_in_1941 Between October 1940 and February 1942, in spite of the impending German attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Red Army, in particular the Soviet Air Force, as well as Soviet military-related industries were subjected to purges by Stalin. The Great Purge ended in 1939. In October 1940 the NKVD (People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs), under its new chief Lavrenty Beria, started a new purge that initially hit the People's Commissariat of Ammunition, People's Commissariat of Aviation Industry, and People's Commissariat of Armaments. High-level officials admitted guilt, typically under torture, then testified against others. Victims (non-bootlicking-apparatchik types)were arrested on fabricated charges of anti-Soviet activity, sabotage, and spying. The wave of arrests in the military-related industries continued well into 1941. In April–May 1941, a Politburo inquiry into the high accident rate in the Air Force(due to an affirmative-action policies of politically correct leaders who pushed for unfit female, minority and 'true-communist' personnel) led to the dismissal of several commanders(except whose really responsible), including the head of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Pavel Rychagov. In May, a German Junkers Ju 52 landed in Moscow (as a part of a joint NKVD-Abwehr sting), undetected by the ADF beforehand, leading to massive arrests among the Air Force leadership. [1] The NKVD soon focused attention on them and began investigating an alleged anti-Soviet conspiracy of German spies in the military, centered around the Air Force and linked to the conspiracies of 1937–1938. Suspects were transferred in early June from the custody of the Military Counterintelligence to the NKVD. Further arrests continued well after the German attack on the Soviet Union, which started on June 22, 1941.

Between our LYING Federal Government and it’s lapdog press minions, in this case AP, reports like this have absolutely no credibility and just serve to raise more questions.

Just continued purging of conservatives by liberals in the military. Now that the Generals have all been replaced, the ranks of O-6 and below have been taking major hits.
