The military forces are all downsizing right now.

From the article at the link: According to the Blaze, one anonymous Pentagon official has said that even young officers have been told “not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House”…

There is nothing unusual about that. Military personnel are not supposed to criticize the commander in chief; their involvement in politics is supposed to be very limited.

That is the rule all right. But, it presupposes the CIC is Constitutionally legitimate and not a domestic enemy of the United States. Never forget, military personnel take an oath to “preserve and protect” the U.S. Constitution not the CIC. There is also nothing unusual about a tyrant purging those who he suspects may want to end his tyrannical reign.
