The officers he attacks are now civilians with full First Amendment rights. Did SecDef Panetta 'suggest' Gen. Dempsey go nuclear on these vets?

"he would not comment on the substance of their allegations."

That helps confirm the charges, IMO.

We have a military subordinate to civilian leadership, we do not have a military obsequious to civilian leadership.

I will take this as your resignation, Dempsey.

Just how many former military officers actually did become President?

Let’s see, just off the top of my head:

George W. Bush
Jimmy Carter
Teddy Roosevelt
U. S. Grant
Andy Jackson
Franklin Pierce
Zachary Taylor

General General, really? You fight for the constitution and higher powers... Obama may be your commander, but if he is such a Queer star for you to die for in his arms, why don’t you come out the fracking fascist closet, Dempsey?

By the way, I did not renew my military stay because of queer leaders like Dempsey.

A perfumed princess sitting on his Pentagon throne? Gen. Martin, they now happen to be civilians and you’re in the active service so how about you stay out of politics by keeping your politics to yourself. So take your own advice.

General Dhimmitude will now be given the People's Army Liberation People's Medal, for his bravery in squashing the Tea Party Rebellion.

All you other Military offices better follow his example.

(or else......)

The headline should read: “Political hack, General Dempsey, says veterans should stay out of politics.”

These high ranking 4 star generals are nothing but political butt kissers. They screw the troops to make their own gain. I dealt with many, many of these types in my 20 years. They were political officers, in the game to punch their tickets and make that next grade, on the backs of the troops. I had some really great officers also who cared for the men and women and would break their butts for us, and most of the time get into trouble for doing it. I frankly can say that I did not like 80% of the officers I worked under. My NCOs by a massive margin were better than the stinking political officers.

Next he’ll be telling soldiers not to vote (conservative soldiers, that is).

But he added: "As to the latter, is it useful? No, it's not useful. It's not useful to me."

So it's all about him and whether retired soldiers are "useful" to him? This guy just confirms more politicization of the military by liberals

It's all about you, eh Marty boy?

Some people work their way to the top, others just sucked their way.

Sounds to me like Dempsey is the political pawn of Obambi.

You are not their commander, Dempsey, they are retired with all Constitutional protections though Obambi and possibly you don't like it.

excussssssssssssssmeeeeeeeeeeeee!

they served their country. they might have to keep their mouths shut while serving, (which i do not think is totally a good idea, like, you shouldn’t be required to obey and unlawful order, see the nuremburg sp? trials).

No stupid general ought to get himself involved in the politics of citizens, which he is talking about, in other words, he is getting into the fray, and taking sides.

He should keep his mouth shut

What a hypocrite!

Blessings, bobo

Funny, I always assumed that after I had left the military, I had full free speech to say whatever I like, whenever I like.

Seems like the Obama admin has just flipped the whole world upside down, we’re now living in Crazytown.

Dear General Martin Dempsey...

When you hang up your uniform for the last time you will have to live with the fact that you are no better than the homeless panhandler on the street scamming for a few bucks.

Sir, you are nothing more than a political whore just like your mentor, Wesley Clark.
