Look, if the change is coming under the shadow of the Obama administration, I assure you it’s not good for the American People.
That’s just an empirical opinion.
Next he’ll want appointed political officers to approve all orders.
let me guess- an all-tranny hierarchy
This snowflake couldn't even stop a dirty old man from groping his wife.
Just an excuse to further purge those who yet resist.
Who is ‘Csrtr’? Jimmie? Never says. Stupid argicle
Nothing this administration does is meant to benefit the American people or its institutions. If we can’t figure out the good from it, you know its bad news.
Those I know inside the Beltway have not been impressed with Ash Carter.
My thoughts too especially with all the NWO crap the globalists are pushing for change (enslavement of the general population while the elites live like royalty) these days.
This is absolute horse crap. The CJCS is not a combatant commander, his role is political in nature as he is a cabinet member that advises the President on the status and proper employment of the military. For him to take the role of combatant commander gives the President specific command over troops without oversight. Although the Constitution specifies that the President is CIC in times of war, this is a move to undermine the authority of each branch.
Who is this “Carter” you speak of?
The new levels include:
Special Joint Chief Command to give mil data directly to WH so they can plan their upcoming mil campaigns which worked so well for Former President Johnson
Social Adjustment Command which will coordinate with the WH on appropriate social training, uniforms, and speech for combat arms. Answers directly to Special Joint Chief Command.
LGBT Command to advise on pairing arrangements for combat arms. Answers directly to Special Joint Chief Command.
Non-Male Command to advise on how to revise old fashioned standards to meet new requirements without appearing to have made a change for combat arms. Answers directly to Special Joint Chief Command.
Special Legal Command to root out old fashioned values, prosecute malcontents, and set any Rules of Engagement. Answers directly to Special Joint Chief Command.
“Giving the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff more responsibility to coordinate, plan and move troops between geographic combatant commands while still remaining outside the chain of command.”
The above quote is a contradiction. Anyone who can coordinate, plan, and move troops, IS in the chain of command as a practical matter. The primary result of this, if enacted, will be to pit Generals against each other, weaken the chain of command, and weaken the national defense.
This is a horrible idea that could only be proposed by an enemy of the USA or a total incompetent.
Gives them more leeway to designate, oh, say, Tea Party rallies in Texas at a higher priority threat than Russian troops massing on the border with Norway?
What the hell does that bureaucratic bullspeak mean?
Let's make changes, just because...well, we just want to make changes?
Shades of the same damned dumbasses that got rid of the M1911 small arms system, because, well, let's just change to a foreign made, less effective, more costly weapon that is unproven, because, well, because we can and while we're at it, let's make sure a bunch of senior officers and NCO's are promised their life's fortunes if they promote it.
The people they put in charge, such as this Carter fool, have no practical experience in being a warrior...and they all think they have the wherewithal to be a Napoleon strategist.
All they know is to whip out a Thesaurus and figure out how to say "crap" in twelve different ways.
Idiots.
The civilian leadership has never liked dealing with separate departments. There was talk years ago about doing away with the individual departments and having a combined force as the Department of Defense.
Looks like this is the start. Doing away with the joint chiefs and having one commander over all forces.
Not a good idea btw.
SAC operated for years across the globe without regard to theater boundaries. But, SAC was at Offut AFB in Omaha, not in Washington. This move advances the trend to centralize decisions: tactical, operational, and strategic at the seat of power, the political lackeys at the Pentagon and White House. Those in uniform are just hired help, like the gardner and pool boy.
