My conspiracy theory is that Obama knows he is not in full control of the military and LEO in the US which is why they will move as many soldiers as they can to Afghanistan and keep our troops overseas, forget the “Bring our troops home mantra” from the left. Then maybe a Senator will have one of those forgetful moments like in mentioning that “some major insurance company is going to collapse in the coming days” and jeopardize our troops safety overseas. Remember Hitler had to get control of a military which opposed him as well - but he succeeded. Another way of doing it is getting us involved in a new war against a new “identifiable” enemy. That would rally people’s nationalism and keep the military busy enough for the homeland to become the fatherland.
You have to remember that the German Army was severely cut up after WWII. The Treaty of Versailles restricted the German Army to less than 100,000 men, mostly police officers. Hitler expanded the Armed Forces to well over 2 million men (not including the SS). The German Army had very few left over NCO’s or command officers from the Great War. Finally, the German military wanted vengeance for WWI, so many of them backed Hitler.
This is NOT the case with the US military.
