ABOARD A US MILITARY AIRCRAFT - General Martin Dempsey denounced ex-officers Tuesday for waging a campaign against President Barack Obama, arguing that soldiers had a duty to stay above the political fray.Wading into a potential minefield during a hotly-contested White House race, Dempsey voiced his disapproval of a group of retired military members and CIA officers who have accused Obama of spilling sensitive national security details to help secure his re-election in November.Asked if the group's criticism was valid or useful, Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he would not comment on the substance of their allegations. But he added: “As to the latter, is it useful? No, it's not useful. It's not useful to me.” The military had a unique role that required political neutrality, said Dempsey, who spoke to reporters aboard his plane en route to the United States after visiting Afghanistan and Iraq.“And one of the things that marks us as a profession in a democracy, in our form of democracy, that's most important is that we remain apolitical. That's how we maintain our bond and trust with the American people,” the general said.The group of ex-Navy SEALs and other retired officers who have blasted Obama, dubbed OPSEC for “operational security,” insist they are not a partisan organization but have genuine concerns about national security leaks. In videos aired this month, the group said the Obama administration endangered the United States and the safety of troops by allegedly disclosing secrets about operations, including the American raid last year that killed Osama bin Laden. But Dempsey said those who serve or used to serve in uniform bear a special responsibility. “The American people don't want us to be another special interest group. I mean they just don't want that.

The two tiers and double standards toward Trump don't only exist at the DOJ.
If it weren’t for double standards we’d have none at all.
BTTT
👍👍👍👍👍
The Nation?.....................Really?.......................
No faith in this general! He attacks fellow soldiers for pointing out that Obama used the military for political gain but says nothing about Milley’s traitorous actions. By his speech he IS being political?
Is this guy in the U.S. military? He sounds like a freakin’ traitor.
There was a day when the military stayed out of politics. I served from ‘69 to 2000 and it was apolitical. Along comes Obozo and he immediately begins corrupting the Services. Now, the corruption has spread like a cancer Service-wide, and our military is infected with every Woke agenda you can imagine. Obozo is no patriot, he is a vile traitor who the Country was stupid enough to put in the WH. Our founding fathers warned us about the need to always be vigilant about outside subversive forces, along with Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov, but the American people were too fat, dumb, and happy to care and here we are. Does a Country that can’t distinguish between Communism and individual freedom deserve its freedom?
Article is from 2012
Dempsty is an ignorant stupid ass. Where has the stupit s**t been when solders have been told to wear red high heels, march in parades, etc? These types of generals are more “generalissimos” and should be shut down and kicked out of the country that no longer respects them. Eff you, Dempsty. Go to Russia, where you belong and kiss Putin’s Obamahole.
Dempsey is the kind of brown nosed sycophant you’ll find in just about any organization. Boss always has to shake the prick off his leg and pull his tongue out of his ear.
Clinton had a bunch of generals resign under his BS. The end of strong, effective, morally decent, patriotic, combat hardened generals.
For God’s sake...this is FROM THE NATION.
YIKES!!!
I never read Marx either.
The story was from a French source, AFP. Several news services ran the story, but The Nation is the only one that still had the story on line. I posted at the request of a commenter on another thread that dealt with the military sabotaging Trump. This story shows how differently 0bama and Trump are treated in the two-tiered government departments.
lol. Ain’t that the truth !
Did you look up that General Dempsey retired in September 2015?
Well these former Military individuals also took oaths to Protect and Defend the Constitution.
When the Traitor Obama and Biden sell out the country it’s these individuals duty to do what their oaths compel them to do
Retired Admiral Mike Mullen, who served as the top U.S. military officer from 2007 to 2011 as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said this week Trump had "laid bare his disdain for the rights of peaceful protest" and "gave succor to the leaders of other countries who take comfort in our domestic strife." Retired General stooge Martin Dempsey, the Joint Chiefs chairman from 2011 to 2015, added, "America is not a battleground. Our fellow citizens are not the enemy."
Marty is a greasy stooge for the Left.
