If they keep this up, they’re going to lose the good will of all the top commanders and perfumed princes, as well as the good will of the guys in the ranks.

Who’s going to help them lose most of the military absentee ballots if this goes on?

I’m waiting for Michelle to be demoted.

Seriously, what is Obama doing to our military? He wants to put homosexuals in and get rid of our nukes. He wants more muslims in America. He plans on visiting Russia but not Israel. And he will be in charge for four more years (at least). America will be no more.

Moochell is the only one who can engage in lavish travel at the taxpayers expense.

$82,000 isn’t much if you start adding all the costs to operate a large airplane.

It’s not like he took an entourage to Spain and rented an entire resort hotel....

This reminds me a lot of the Tailhook massacre of the U.S. Navy pilots.. now these New Normal pukes have more power and they are going after generals.

Meet the New Normal

Can you believe it? These are our elites.

Our Great Leader got bin Laden. Now he’s cleaning out the corrupt baby killers and waste from our military while simultaneously casting out the foul demon Mitt and his minions. Free stuff for all! Benghazi was just a bump in the road. Now bow down and kiss the ring of our Great Leader:

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta should be incredibly embarrassed. Look how Panetta travels around, back and forth to his walnut farm.

Look at Michelle Obama.

Stalin purged his generals because of paranoia, Hitler purged his generals because of paranoia.

Is Obama purging his generals because of paranoia?

Putin would be more than happy to send troops to help 0bama keep his throne since he works for them anyway (possibly:.. OBAMA: "After MY election I have more flexibility.." MEDVEDEV: "I understand.. I transmit this information..)

Tin foil hat?: Some think that Russia already has troops here, waiting for orders..

Love the way no blame is assigned to Obama, the Personnel Director-In-Chief of the military and intelligence agencies.

At the very least, Obama signed off on all three of these guys.

Any MSM blowback?

That’ll be the day!

“Seriously, what is Obama doing to our military?”

Have you forgotten? After the election, more flexibility! This is but a taste of things to come.

You Republicans....up against the wall!

Comrade, see post #5. We need a less intimidating military. Flowers, not guns. We want the world to love us. We need to embrace our neighbors with the different faith tradition and create a warm and fuzzy world. Forward!

If you’re misusing Government Travel cards for personal reasons you deserved to get demoted, period. I’ve followed this story for the few months it has been going on.

Just remembered...

Wasn’t the Persian Gulf Naval Task Force Commander recalled a couple weeks back?

That means 4 senior officers involved in major screw ups within one month.

You sure can pick them, Mr. President.

Odmamma has managed to do what no foreign enemy could do to America... Knockout four of our top generals.

Me thinks all four know the truth about Benghazi.

Unless justice is served, God help us all.
