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.

Don’t see too many male generals crying in front of the troops.
He didn't have any trouble firing Rick Wagoner from GM.
who want to bet they’re purging Conservatives in the military in top positions. Maybe they’re using NSA info to filter them out
An excellent article by Duke.
Every point he makes is backed up by 0bama’s actions since elected and his pathetic friends over the years.
Not sure about the lesbian angle. They are still under cover as far as I can tell.
IBD EDITORIAL PING
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
I’ll take “our military is being reshaped for other purposes” for $800, Alex.
I'm guessing they're mostly or all lesbians.
Did someone call for me?
Are there no good, patriotic men and women in the upper brass anymore? Any patriots among the CIA whom saw what Barry did to the former seals and State Department? Any patriots who know Barry’s secrets who can stop this madness before our Country is destroyed. What the heck does the NSA have on these people? Affairs don’t destroy careers anymore.
All these fired Flag Staff still have all their internal connections. The only way to prevent them from “handling” this outside nobama is to snuff em. So far nobama has not tried that measure, probably to his detriment.
At some point just prior to SHTF, look for something big to go down inside the Military, that is when they (the purged)will be making the move.
The only way nobama’s gang defeats even temporarily the patriots is to nuke us, otherwise they (nobama’s gang) are vastly outgunned.
BTTT
Would that be the current Surgeon General?
Thanks for the ping.
BINGO
What do you know - and how do you know it?
Michael Savage has been on this. (Must not have been to any restaurants recently)

This is on the underground info networks. Rumors abound some guys turned up at a military base, pulled nuclear weapons out of bunkers that weren’t supposed to be there, and shipped them out without any transfer orders. There was a dispute on the base, but the nukes were eventually allowed to leave.
Then these generals start getting wiped.
>> I think Maj. Gen. Michael Carey refused to acknowledge that he would fire upon American citizens so he is not needed.
The alleged litmus test.
Of course their are.
But you're talking about pros.
They don't telegraph.
