Everything is fine, you’re just crazy.

It’s THEIR military now.

The top 3 NSA guys are all leaving within 6 months of each other. No private company would allow that. The director (in charge of both United States Cyber Command and Central Security Service), General Keith Alexander, is leaving next month. He has two deputy directors, 1) Chris Inglis stepped down last month and 2) can’t think of his name will be leaving in June.
I’m missing perspective here.
There are something like 1.5 million active members in the U.S. armed forces. I imagine that translates into a lot of officers. What’s the normal turnover of officers? How do the numbers now compare to years in the past? As we reduce our presence in the Mideast, do we have fewer active military folks? Does that translate to a corresponding reduction in officers?
I believe everything that I read on the internet, especially stories that cite the relief of a Major, Lieutenant Colonel, or Commander as evidence for an Administration purge. Ignorance certainly, stupidity probably.
Read about all of the reliefs of General Officers in World War II, pretty clear evidence of a purge by Roosevelt if you follow this logic.
He waited until he was re-elected for the night of the long knives. 2013 may prove to be a turning point.
Please send 20 copies, and after -- see what happens to you on the fourth day. Add your name to the bottom of the list and leave off the first name when copying the letter.
These are TOP OFFICERS. Most experienced and able. They are being purged since they won’t cow tow to a Marxist CiC. Remember he said he was going to fundamentally change this nation..The congress won’t stand up to him. These guys did and he pulled their career rug right out from under them, leaving America weaker by doing so. Those giving in to protect their careers should reread the data on the Nuremberg trials. The Sargent Schultz defense still will not work.
No, he wasn't.
General Ham Is Still Commander of U.S. Africa Command November 3, 2012So did General Ham, the commander of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), really get fired? In fact, the answer to that question is no. General Ham is still the active commander of AFRICOM.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) appeared on the Howie Carr radio talk show on 31 October. Mr. Carr asked Representative Chaffetz about the rumors that General Ham had been forced out. Representative Chaffetz answered to the effect that he had visited General Ham in Stuttgart (headquarters for the Africa Command) on about 1 October; the two of them traveled to Libya, where General Ham was very much in command.
I see a lot of Navy Capts and Cols on the list. They would be considered VPs in the corporate world. Where I worked, losing VPs sucked, but they were a dime a dozen. The same thing with Captains and Colonels.
Captains? nah, but majors on up, yes.
I guess these officers should be grateful that obozo didn’t — like Stalin and Hitler — have them strung up with piano wire on meat hooks. But then, it’s not too late, guys!
Navy Captain: 06; not land forces captain, 03.
Well THEIR military has lost all of it's best leaders. That may not be such a bad thing one day.
It just means they won’t have any reservations turning to total war, or scorched earth.
