The obamanation of America’s desolation at work to staff all government with puppets to destroy his stated enemies of America, the conservatives and Christians who know the man is evil. Bible believing, gun holding conservatives are the last bastion he plans to destroy and the military is full of conservatives.
May God have mercy on us who believe on Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

I think that this is all nonsense.

When you offer proof for purge of high ranking officers that includes Lieutenants, Commanders, and Major alarm bells should go off. These are not high ranking officers except in the minds of a few privates.

Most of this has been debunked more than once on this forum. Repeating it doesn’t make it so.

Certainly a bolder resume than Barama’s.

Not really, honestly. As many officers as have been cut (over 200, I think), it’s still a fraction of the total number of officers, and won’t really have any impact on the budget.

Your second point about who gets chosen is relevent, though, and that’s something worth exploring.

I think the resident FReeper poh-poo'er will show up to say this is all normal and to remain calm.

At least, he has reliably shown up before to do such...........

Its the truth American citizens ignore, most believe
it is easier to stick your head and the sand and pretend, but the day will come when the obamanites will shoot off the ass of those who have their heads buried in the sand.

The left is just doing the same to the military as has been done over the years to every other government institution.

I am concerned about the purges in Strategic Command. Do launch when told to during a drill, then you are out?

It almost sounds like mindless drones are being put into place that won’t question why we are either launching against allies or why we are not returning fire when we are attacked.

I really don’t trust this resident.

Somehow as an E-1/2/3 I was slotted as an O-3 and later as an O-4. I know it’s impossible, except that it happened. I was the guy in charge of the DMZ at I Corps G-2 and they thought that was an officer’s job but didn’t have officers available to do it or something. Later on, as a Spec.4 I was an actual battalion S-2 (3/10 Cav.) and that’s supposedly not done, either.

Should our evil lawless one succeed in causing the division of Israel and while furthering his Belshazzar like treasonous desire for a nuclear neutered America,

Then this is (I conjecture) whats ultimately in store for us:

“The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

“One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.”

Jeremiah 51:30-33

I absolutely agree with you. The people on this list were screw ups. They either weren’t doing their job or were acting in a manner that was inappropriate for leadership in the current times. The Army found a strong connection between suicides and toxic leaders. The toxic leaders would ride hard those with problems but were completely different toward higher levels.

Hitler did the same thing early on. As did Stalin.

You are correct. However, the number of senior officers being sacked for cause is disturbing about what is says about the officer corps. McNamara’s stated goal of reorienting the officer corp fro being leaders in the traditional and heroic mode to being managers has come about and the fruits of that arrogant and foolish man's personal animus for professional soldiers are being harvested.
