Army Gen: Obama Is Destroying Military From Within
Downtrend ^ | OCTOBER 22, 2015 | ROBERT GEHL

Posted on 10/24/2015 10:06:38 AM PDT by xzins

President Obama is trying to destroy America’s military from within and it’s not an accident.

These are the words of Army Maj. Gen. Robert Dees.

Dees said it’s all part of a massive “social engineering” experiment and the end result will destroy the nation’s ability to defend itself.

“Not only are we losing physical readiness to fight, we have to fix the problem of moral readiness,” he said on a panel chaired by Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (US Army-Ret.).

“I think the moral readiness of our forces is even more important than the physical readiness, which is very low,” Dees later told CNSNews.com. “The moral readiness is degraded by social experimentation within our military.

“In fact, social experimentation is improperly named because it’s not an experiment at all. It’s a top-driven mandate for social agendas that occurs by this administration within the military, which is a captive audience.

“It is not enhancing our readiness; it declines our readiness. We’re spending more time on some of these social engineering projects than we are on developing and maintaining readiness in our force.”

CNSNews.com asked Dees what message President Obama’s nomination of an openly gay secretary of the Army sends to members of the military, especially those who are Christians.

“Well, I think it’s a very loud statement by the administration. It’s not an accident. We respect all people and yet, it’s tantamount to lighting the White House in rainbow colors,” he replied.

The general added that “even though there’s some guidelines in place, there’s guerilla warfare within the military in a similar way that there’s guerilla warfare within our culture.

“People who would seek to strike religion from our land are working very aggressively out in the various parts of the military to strike down religious freedoms even if it’s against the existing regulations. They will press and push for whatever they can get away with.”

The inevitable result of such conflict is “a rash of poor leaders, and in many cases toxic leaders within the military,” Dees said. “Young people are not seeing selfless servants…the very best of our officers are the ones who leave first.”

“Faith in the foxhole is critically important,” the general added. “We in the military know that [the troops] don’t want to be politically correct, they want to be God correct.”

Of course he is. Starting with the Secretary of the Army, there is now a gay quota. And gay affirmative action. You want to get promoted in todays Army? Be a male who enjoys sex with other men. Or a woman who enjoys doing whatever it is lesbians do together. Thats the quickest ticket to the top.

Anyone with one eye and a grain of sense can see that loading the military with homosexuals and gender confused is nothing but a way to destroy the military.

Look for Dees to retire in the coming weeks.

I was assuming he already is retired. On looking, you’re correct. I don’t see that in the article.

The article doesn’t say he is retired. It does say Boykin is retired.

If Dees isn’t retired, he could be charged under the new law that makes speaking against the Cmd in Chief an offense.

The military has become infested with commie lib maggots just as all the other once respected American institutions have been.

It is intentional.

His dual masters appear to be islam and communism.

And Satan above both those, of course.

we didn't have to lose in 2012....people stayed home...people voted for some stinking third party...

if "our" supposed people won't do the right thing, we have no chance....

Rubio...Trump...Carson...Jeb...Carly....we'll have freepers denouncing all of them at one time or another and pouting and then proudly declaring that they won't vote for them....

conservatives can be the stupidest and fool hearty people in the world...

I know I’ll get killed for this but I wish that Giuliani ran as a Democrat in 2008. He would have beat Obama and he would have been president. Guantanamo Bay would be open. There would to be twenty thousand troops in Iraq still Isis wouldn’t exist. What can you do. I don’t know why you would of done on the immigration issue or the gender identity nonsense. But half the battles that we needed would have been won.

The composition of the military is entirely up to congress, so when there is a new POTUS, the first thing he should do is to raise the standards for training *and* performance, and if those individuals the left has insisted on inserting cannot perform, they are fired, along with their support systems throughout the military.

That is, it doesn’t matter if they are complicit officers or civilian personnel, they are fired.

Still blaming the conservatives, eh Cherry?

You better start looking in the mirror before it’s too late.

No, it is creating a military that owes its allegiance to the one individual creating and maintaining a military composed of perverts, racial minorities, Muslims, women of dubious gender

Riiight. And Romney folding in the 2nd debate like a cheap tent after a masterful performance in the 1st was just a coincidence. And Candy Crowley "helping" Obama - with Romney standing there doing squat?

Sure, go ahead and keep blaming the base for not voting for the GOPe's absolutely unsupportable candidates. Did it ever occur to you that the GOPe needs to get their head out of their ass and realize that their base has slowly but surely been growing sick and tired of being treated the way the DemocRATs treat black voters?

Fool me once, shame on you!

Fool me twice, shame on me!

No
