I'm thinking these firings/resignations have more to do with what is talked about in this biased editorial from the "Army Times".

IMHO: When you are entrusted with the safeguarding of a nuclear weapons stickpile and your command and control structure fails miserable at that, I doubt that that reason you are fired is because of something to do with the election.

I suspect you're right, but remember that the Army, Navy, and Air Force Times are all written by the same folks, Gannett (USA Today) and their bias is decidedly anti-military. In this case, it looks like the Air Force had it coming - perhaps they need to retire their foot-seeking missle.
