Why is Obama taking out military leaders?

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

He has fired 197 senior military commanders, 37 of them 4-star Generals.

He's fired nine in 2013 alone.

Why would a president do this? Perhaps they are all criminals.... but I doubt it. Perhaps he is purging the military of leaders who won't just say "Yes, Sir" to him?

Long video, but only need to watch the first coupla minutes...

Obama is trying to transition our military....

from previous administrations where the first response was always send the military... to where he wants more negotiations and to only provide support as opposed to us invading another country.....

IMHO.

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Firing more generals than ever in history is NOT needed to negotiate. Most military leaders don't want to go to war, believe it or not.

I did 2 tours in Operation Desert Storm/Shield.. I know the brass does not lightly go into war...

Maybe Obama wants to surround himself with yes men, maybe he wants inexperienced combat commanders giving him advice so he can look good... I don't know... but it is a grave mistake to retire your combat vet commanders...

he has to create some peace since he got that peace prize -

so (IMO) if'n you remove the blood-and-guts generals and replace em with leftist, free-thinking, liberals who don't want to go to war about anything,

well, The Kenyan just validated his Peace Prize.

Thanks, Nobel !!

Sorry I misunderstood ya, Batman, and thanks to da Chinaman for clearing it up for me...

Me thinks he is trying to align "HIS military" by getting rid of men who will stand up to him. Like Gen. Ham, who said "Screw the president, I will do my best to save lives at Benghazi!!", and was relieved moments later.

Yet more paranoid nonsense.

Why would a president do this?

He's destroying the economy, ruining relations with international allies, erasing US borders (except for those of us here at VJ, who have to file all the forms in triplicate), fomenting hatred among Americans (class warfare and race baiting), politicizing and weaponizing every government agency, and heinously abusing separation of powers. Why wouldn't he wreck the military as well?

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Echo, echo, echo....

[MyLittlePony 340]

3 more years of obama nonsense he wants a 9/11 style attack on us why he traded those 5 Muslims for one america muslim.
