Obama's Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years

Defense: What the president (Obama) calls "my military" is being cleansed of any officer suspected of disloyalty to or disagreement with the administration on matters of policy or force structure, leaving the compliant and fearful.

We recognize President Obama is the commander-in-chief and that throughout history presidents from Lincoln to Truman have seen fit to remove military commanders they view as inadequate or insubordinate.

Turnover in the military ranks is normal, and in these times of sequestration and budget cuts the numbers are expected to tick up as force levels shrink and missions change.

Yet what has happened to our officer corps since President Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security posture. We have commented on some of the higher profile cases, such as Gen. Carter Ham. He was relieved as head of U.S. Africa Command after only a year and a half because he disagreed with orders not to mount a rescue mission in response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi.

Published in 2013 about Obama. Getting this out there now as the Democrat controlled media is already getting its panties in a wad over Trump getting rid of flag officers. Hopefully this gets traction.

Thanks for posting.

It was odd to me that there was very little attention paid to this. I noticed it, and I was disgusted. Obama did as he promised, fundamentally transformed America.

Obama purged the Senior FBI Officers by making them move themselves and their families to Washington DC. Most retired or resigned.

Thank you for posting this. Too many crybabies on our side wrings hands about cleaning up the officer corp (desperately needed, IMHO), need to be reminded.

Unfortunately, Obama cleared all conservatives from the leadership of the military and then promoted woke DEI people into all the higher-level positions.

Trump who wasn’t a politician didn’t properly address what had happened and left most of those in place, which Biden built upon further. Now you have a situation where nearly everyone above the rank of Major has been compromised. Because Obama and Biden would never have allowed anyone above that level that wasn’t a woke DEI pick.

The only way to fix this situation is to decimate the entire upper ranks of the military practically.

Bammie wanted a sensitive, easily triggered, diaper changing military full of turd rolling, RAT voters.

[VeniVidiVici]

Agreed.

[Uncle Miltie]

Trump can do better in 60 days.

Go!

[Tell It Right]

Thanks for the reminder that Obama did the same thing. In a way, when Trump cleans house at the Pentagon, he’ll be just undoing the changes Obama made.

Not many people know this but the reason Amb. Stevens was in Benghazi prepping for a Hillary victory lap for taking out Khaddaffi. Ironically Khaddaffi loyalists got the American's out of Libya.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot... How quickly they forget. It's time to purge ALL the WOKE monsters OUT OF OUR MILITARY.

Odungo was and still is a Communist, an aristocratic Communist, in fact.

Of course he wanted the military as helpless and demoralized as possible. He still does. All Rat Communists do.

Naturally they are going to be furious with every nomination, every vetting, every appointment.

We know and expect this.

My reading at the time pointed out this purge over and over again.

The "mainstream" press wanted it done with as little notice as possible.

It was tremendously successful as far as their ops go; we are still reeling from it.

What?? Obama was a fascist too?

[PIF]

B. Clinton purged 50 top brass in one sitting. How many on total, I do not recall.

[Sequoyah101]

There are a whole bunch of really good people who have suffered the last many years in humiliated silence to hold on to what little they have left. They need to be found and preserved and promoted. They have earned recognition. They are the people who have persevered to preserve what war fighting capabilities we have in spite of their so-called leadership.

You can easily identify most of them by the smile on their faces that they have in anticipation that retribution and revival is at hand. All they ever wanted to do was to serve and protect. They didn't sign up for all the bull shit that has been stuffed down their throats.
