The Army’s plans to cut 40,000 troops from its ranks in the next two years has angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill who complain the Defense Department didn’t give them an advance warning of the move and has not addressed how the reduction will impact both their home districts and the fight against the Islamic State.

JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF ARE NOT CLEARLY DRINKING THE OBAMA KOOL-AID
Over the past 7 years, our “not Muslim†president Barack Hussein Obama has systematically decimated all branches of the US military by purging out any and all leaders who did not want to go along with his vision of an LGBT-infused, pro-Muslim military. We have listed below a partial listing of the results of the purge.
DEFINITION OF THE WORD CONTEMPT AS USED IN THIS ARTICLE:
1. THE FEELING OR ATTITUDE OF REGARDING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING AS INFERIOR, BASE, OR WORTHLESS; SCORN.
2. THE STATE OF BEING DESPISED OR DISHONORED.
3. OPEN DISRESPECT OR WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE OF THE AUTHORITY OF A COURT OF LAW OR LEGISLATIVE BODY.
For the first time in American history, a U.S. president, Barack Obama, disdains the military from the Oval Office. From ignorance of the military word “corpsmen†to not acknowledging fallen heroes like at Benghazi to championing huge and dangerous reductions in the military budget, Obama, even as threats mount, has shown his contempt for warriors. The Joint Chiefs of Staff obviously had that fully in the front of their brains as they listened to the lies of the Commander in Chief at the SOTU:

President Obama said Monday he supports the recommendations of a military commission that would reduce the size of traditional military retirement pay by about 20 percent and offer a new defined-contribution benefit for troops who leave before 20 years of service.
In a letter to congressional leaders, Mr. Obama said the proposals are “an important step forward in protecting the long-term viability of the all-volunteer force, improving quality-of-life for service members and their families, and ensuring the fiscal sustainability of the military compensation and retirement systems.”

I was a bit surprised at the Chiefs signifying their disagreement with the bogus POTUS by their body language and lack of applause (I thought “The One” had purged the military of all who would dissent in any manner), the exception being the praise of our troops, during which the brass joined in the standing O.
I remember writing a comment on several sites, to include FR that Obama was mimicking Erdogan in the way he was decimating the military...bringing false accusations against MANY top men, many of them losing not only their jobs, but also their retirements, etc.
Erdogan in Turkey started putting generals and colonels in prison, fired many, accusing them of insurrection, and all kinds of other made up stuff. As soon as Obama took office, the same exact thing started happening to our military. Take out anybody who can think for themselves and don’t feel a need to kiss your you-know-what. Put lackeys in those positions, and if they act up, you purge them. This has been going on. I saw the list of officers who’d been purged by Obama a couple years ago. It was mind-boggling.
When he leaves office (which my husband doesn’t think he will), the military will be at risk, we’ll be in a financial crisis, and basically sitting ducks for any foreign power to attack successfully.
This man should be impeached. I only wish there was a way that the citizenry had the power stop take action to impeach him ourselves.
Asking a question....
are they all white?
I’d be willing to bet they are.
I have yet to see any of these military hero types resign and go out to slam this mooselimb maggot.
Afraid for pensions?
3 good generals should step forward and remove the Muslim Marxist and try him for treason plus a dozen other crimes. In addition, one general for each branch of government to remove and jail the criminals sitting in power. Anyone willfully violating the Constitution is a criminal of the highest order.
