ABOARD A US MILITARY AIRCRAFT — US military chief 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.
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."

General McPeak calls Bush "village idiot"; plans to advise Obama
If it weren't for Double Standards, the Left would have no standards at all.
Remember, for at least over 150 years, soldiers did not wear their uniforms to political events.
Obama directly ordered the DoD to violate that so that homosexuals could march in "Gay Pride" gross outs in San Diego.
Somehow I recall a retired general or two being involved in politics, Washington, Jackson, Harrison, Taylor, Grant, Harrison, Garfield, Eisenhower, as well as former officers Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, GHW Bush, GWBush.
Not to mention Wesley Clark the former Democrat candidate for President. Typical Democrat: “Shut up!” he argued.
As a former enlisted grunt I would like to say: STFU General Dipsh$t.
I feel better now.
He is a hypocrite because he is an active duty officer compelled by the UCMJ to stay out of politics while in uniform. His condemnation of retired military exercising their rights was a political act. He is the turd in the punchbowl and he needs to shut his 4 star piehole.

The Communard Agitator-in-Chief is truly evil personified. Our inspirationally-founded Republic teeters on the cliff. His vile, tentacles are attached to every section of our public body and human order, poisoning everything possible in his "Forward" path.

I have given all of these groups support. I had watched the video and went to Bejamin Smith’s FB page. I had said that I supported what they were doing and thanked him. Well, it turned into a back and forth with a group of juvenile leftist punks. No big deal right? Well these little darlings searched me online and have distributed my personal information on their freak blogs. However, they have also identified my children, two, who are active duty troops. They have posted the names, addresses, phone numbers of those involved with the OPSEC group. Including Gold Star Mom, Debbie Lee.
These people are crazy. They are now threatening me with legal action saying I am a threat to them. They sent me a copy of a complaint they have filed against me to my local police department, I guess I will call them tomorrow. I feel like I have been pushed down the rabbit hole. Literally dealing with unhinged, juvenile little brats!!!
So sorry this has happened to you and the others. I doubt anything will come of those complaints but I know it could cost you time, money and aggravation. In the long run I think that kind of thing will backfire. Cops and DAs don't like to be jerked around by liars with vendettas. Document as much as you can. Document document document.
ps: I gave as much as I could to OPSEC. I would help them all if I could.
