"..The officer corps has been involved in ongoing purges of "unreliable" men, men who are suspect of being averse to shooting down American citizens..."

I do not question the truth of it, but can you find articles supporting it??? :)

i.e. Our military ranks being subverted......add posts

Good point though

Every Democrat president purges the officer corps. Carter and Clinton both did it. Clinton was overt as hell about it and used the Navy Convention “Tailhook” to hang the operation. that one wound up with at least one probable murder and a couple of convenient suicides. T most visible result of the purges is the difficulty fighting wars for a time afterwards as in Iraq(after Clintjn). The first onslaught did wonderfully well but that was firepower and speed. Afterward we got bogged down and were losing ground until finally the fresh blood proved itself on the battlefield and rose to the top. About then came the surge and you know the rest. Without the surge the troops were already improving the situation because they finally had battle experienced competent officers. Competent officers get replaced by reliable bureaucrats whose military talents consist in sucking up to politicians and implementing stupid politically correct requirements.
