The Left learned a lesson in Spain in the 1930s and Chile in the 1970s: failing to purge the armed forces of patriots may lead to military countermeasures. Keep in mind that the top echelons of the U.S. military have always been political, and many of them were members of Establishment clubs like the Council on Foreign Relations. As that Establishment has moved steadily leftward, the generals and admirals have followed suit. I doubt someone like Norman Schwarzkopf, much less Curtis LeMay, would rise above lieutenant colonel at best.

Democrat administrations have regularly purged the officer corps since at least Truman. The difference this time with Obama II is that the purge is extending down to the privates. We have come to the point that the military is an arm of the Leftists in the government, not the military strength of the Nation.
