Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking military officers have been removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the “purge” of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years. So why is this happening? When I was growing up, my father was an officer in the U.S. Navy. And what is going on right now is absolutely crazy – especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to “reshape” the military and remove those that don’t adhere to the proper “viewpoints”? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won’t “cooperate” out of the way? Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a “military purge” is never good. If this continues, what is the U.S. military going to look like in a few years?
Perhaps you are reading this and you think that “purge” is too strong a word for what is taking place. Well, just consider the following quotes from some very highly decorated retired officers…

“He understands that in order to cripple our military, the best and brightest of the officers need to be removed.”
It is not about crippling the military or removing the best and brightest. It is about something far worse.
It is about removing the most honorable and patriotic and replacing them with anti American Marxists.
You can not fundamentally change a country without fundamentally changing the military.
Mao fundamentally changed China because he knew “power flows from the barrel of a gun”
I think...obama thinks he can stay in office permanently, he may try by executive order to cancel elections, he may think having military leaders behind him, they will enforce his action, some may say impossible, what say you?
I am one that would say impossible, but probable he would try.
If downsizing is the goal then it would involve officers,
enlisted and equipment.

Pentagon Plans to Shrink Army to Pre-World War II Level
snip
The Army, which took on the brunt of the fighting and the casualties in Afghanistan
and Iraq, already was scheduled to drop to 490,000 troops from a post-9/11 peak of
570,000. Under Mr. Hagel’s proposals, the Army would drop over the coming years to
between 440,000 and 450,000.
That would be the smallest United States Army since 1940.

Because they are acting poorly, against the rules, and they are getting fired.
They are retiring to get away from the BS.
The size of the military is being reduced, so they are getting rid of the deadwood.
There is no conspiracy. It is more like rot.
Almost nothing is impossible. Nothing Obama will do will surprise me. I don’t expect him to go peacefully. Hope I’m wrong.
Removing those who could most easily remove him from positions of official authority and inside information.
Because dozens of high ranking officers were clinging onto old, outdated concepts like duty, love of country, etc. We can't have any of that nonsense, now can we?
In his rush to emulate the enviable successes of banana republics, obama is stacking the military with Loyalists.
There is no purge. Generals retire, they get new jobs, and at the highest level, they get fired by the Secretary of Defense. On very rare occasions, the President or someone on his staff gets involved. This has always been so.
The real problem is that the senior leaders of the services are supporting the President’s policies and are working hard to put them into action. Not a single senior officer has resigned in protest
I don’t know. Maybe so they won’t revolt when he declares martial law and officially takes over.
The Bright side is that when the revolt comes, we will have all the capable military men helping the patriots while Obama will have Rump rangers, liberal shemales who are lucky if they know which end of a rifle the bullets go out of.
The constant news reports of personnel drawdowns and the recruitment of homosexuals and women into combat ranks. My son who was in Afghanistan before he went to Germany says he sees lots of problems and lots of lifers who are reconsidering their career commitments because of it.
