Officers in war zones getting laid off. Unit morale will undoubtedly plummet. Nice job, Hagel.

They have to make room for the homos and transgenders.

I’m relatively certain they can apply for Jobs as ObamaCare facilitators. They’d be making a LOT more money. I hear the government is just pi$$ing away money trying to get signups and facilitators. Anybody breathing.

the DOD will now babysit, defend, and protect
TERRORISTS imported by Obama (like Hasan who
came in with Obama).

Probably part of the plan.

And how many have been pink-slipped from the IRS? TSA? ICE? I’m guessing zero.

If I didn’t know better, I would think Obama was trying to destroy the U.S. military.

This is a very sad situation and will leave a big hole in combat experienced junior officers for a long time.

I was in the 82 Abn Div in 1973 when 90 Captains in that one division got pick slips (RIF'd as it was called) (Reduction in force). My roommate, also a Captain in 73 was deployed to Vietnam for his second tour. At least they waited for him to return to Ft Bragg before they notified him. Only a few days later I might ad.

Though I didn't get pink slipped, I was amazed and deeply saddened at how many combat veterans, fantastic company commanders, and brothers in arms were shown the door.

It took the Army 10 + years to recover from that self created short sighted mess the political class created. But then again, the welfare program and other entitlement vote buying schemes kept growing just like today.

Hagel is Obama’s willing Butt-Boy.
He has no honor.

And to Obama it is just another paycheck he can make available to one of his moocher class deadbeats or sexual misfits.

But to a dedicated patriotic soldier or Marine it’s not a job - it’s a way of life.

How many will want to put their lives on the line and take a chance on being shot, killed or become disabled while waiting for their termination papers?

If these are on merit, then the majority, er ah, Majors (0-4s) may not be missed. The captains on merit may ensnare more that were likable or competent.

Look at the numbers here, and then look at the overall Manning Levels and calculate the loss of "Soldiers". The Social Engineer in the White House needs more Domestic Money and can't Print his way out of the Recession.

This entire administration should be brought to trial for High Treason.

Make an appeal in person wearing Bozo feet and fake boobs and you’ll be a Major before you know it instead of being unemployed.

“America needs a civilian force that is as powerful as the military.” - Obama, 2008

He is giving military weapons to IRS, FDA, DoEd, BLM, USDA, EPA etc. SWAT teams to get around Posse Comitatus, while shrinking and feminizing the real military so it can’t be used against our enemies.
