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.

Dempsey was and is, along with Mullen a CREATURE of Obamaumao the First (and also lest we forget of the boy scout Gates— who gladly sucked hind tail to “serve” the obvious FAKE and Marxist Obamaumao. Gates KNEW what obamaumao was and still served??

Mullen was a turd, gladly removing theatre commanders of competence and replacing them with his downline a@@ kissers.
All of them politicized, demonrats. All of them. Mullen was a disaster.

The people being discussed (and this was in 2015 in response to the coming WAVE of Donald Trump wiping out the “sure” winner Hitlery and her cronies and globalist thieves- The ex- generals and admirals knew what obamaumao had wrought- and were aiding Trump to deconstruct it as fast as he could. And the derp state emplants (SEE MARY McCord) fought them tooth and nail to the point that no way JoeBama got elected— he clearly did NOT get elected and this was a coup. They are all scared crapless of being exposed outright— and destroyed. And, they should be as much of the administrative self pocket lining State should be.
