Defense: The firing of two nuclear commanders in a week adds to a body count that suggests we have either the most corrupt and incompetent general staff in history or our military is being reshaped for other purposes.
The Obama administration, which has fired no one over scandals such as its Fast and Furious Mexican gun-running operation, its criminal negligence in the terrorist attack on our Benghazi diplomatic mission, or the use of the IRS to target and intimidate political foes, seems to have a curious obsession lately about ethics and competence in the U.S. military.
Last week the Air Force's two-star general in charge of the units responsible for its 450 nuclear missiles was fired "due to a loss of trust and confidence in his leadership and judgment," an Air Force statement said.
Maj. Gen. Michael Carey had commanded the 20th Air Force, responsible for the three wings that maintain control of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles scattered in missile silos across the northern plains.
The statement added that the decision to relieve Carey was based on information from an inspector general investigation into Carey's alleged behavior during a temporary duty assignment, which is the military's term for business travel. It was said to have nothing to do with the operational readiness of the ICBM force or recent failed inspections of ICBM units.
Carey's removal comes on the heels of President Obama's personal removal of the No. 2 officer at U.S. Strategic Command, which among other things oversees the military's nuclear forces. Vice Adm. James Giardina had earlier been suspended from that command after a criminal probe into his potential use of counterfeit poker chips at an Iowa casino.

I agree with you.
Be prepared for : "We were only following orders !! "
Maybe that broken arrow ‘transfer’ from Minot to LA a few years back was a dry run.
Generals don’t fly cattle class.
She is the suspenders , who keeps his pants up , and reminds him to close his fly .
Obama means to transform the military along with his dedicated social transformation of America. Obama wants absolute power over the military, just as every fascist cheief executive did throughout history.
Anyone who is a traditional military man, or has conventional views on American patriotism and the constitution is vetted politically and given the thumbs up or down.Thise with a thumbs down are given the tender mercies of a surreptitious investigation, and any weakness is used as an excuse for demotion, early retirement, or public scandal. This is the Alinsky method of governance
used by Obama and his running dogs.
This is a good read which will tell you what it is that America is about to face:
” Barrack Obama, the Quintessential Fascist.”

You know lets don’t go down that women are crappy road. How about its more likely that the Muzzie lovin Commie is going to replace all these red blooded American generals with his own sychophants. For what reasons I can only shudder.
Just for the record Mr. GG2’s nephew is working for a 3 star woman Army general right now. He has 2 PHD’s and he says she is a dynamo and he loves working for her.
“If this is the case he ought to go public”
That’s what all the whistle blowers thought.
We have been fundamentally changed.

he needs only people happy to turn weapons on us citizens, and who will work with the foreign troops that will help out disarming people under martial law.
Coincidentally, I think that happened the same damn day!
women are far more likely to go along with authority/orders.
though most of these are lesbians so maybe not as much as real women.
I agree, thanks for the link.
I was assigned TDY as a driver for General Patton IV when he commanded the 2ndAD. He flew cattle class in choppers constantly. Guy loved chopper. One of the good commanders imo.

I think it is important to talk out loud about what Hussians reasons are for replacing and changing the military. Many people say that dictators do this before a government takeover in order to have the military aligned with the dictator and against the people.
What does anyone else think?
If people think that our president is thinking of turning the military against our citizens, we need to think some more.

I can’t forget something I read once and have been unable to find the quote ever since...but this was the gist of it, either by Lenin or Stalin.
“when the people get hungry enough they’ll take anything you give them”.
I believe this is the situation Obama has planned for us.
Obama has no trouble firing Military Personnel ,but he never fires the crooks from his Administration
He wants to creative a military that reflects his ideology. Completely transform the most conservative, traditional values institution in the country.
