I think you are on the right track. To control a country (to become dictator), you must control the military. Ask Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il and many others of the same ilk.

That’s precisely what the Won is thinking about, none-stop.

Lucky for us he can’t kill em like Adolf or Stalin did and get away with it. They live to fight another very important battle, count on it. When the time comes, all the Gens nobama selected will find no one listening to their orders and we’ll be seeing fragging that’ll make VN look like a Birthday Party.

Spot on. Unless there’s a better reason or this number regularly go out the door, something’s up.

Must have peed on the wrong dead body.

That is a secondary objective and not important.

The primary goal is to install officers who are loyal to the federal government and will not hesitate to follow any orders from the federal government to “oppress” our civilian population when the time comes.

It doesn’t take a genius to see what has been going on since he took office. It only takes people who are paying attention.

The buzz is an oath is asked of officers if they will fire upon “domestic terrorists” meaning us.

Yes, and you stay in. No and you have a long furlough.

This is also designed to intimidate any and all other career commanders who may be thinking impure thoughts about Der Fuhrer.

Is there a list of the other commanders who have been dismissed since March?

Perhaps; but I want to know the end of this... is it to have officers who are personally loyal so as to control the military enough to suppress the general citizenry?

DING, DING, DING! We have a winner! Yes, that's exactly what he's doing.

The article indicates that he was the “lead writer” of the Defense Department’s Global Campaign Plan for Countering Terrorism.

This entire article makes me sick to my stomach. They are killing my Corps. This is a full on purge,

Purging the officer corps? If so, then to what end?

They must be trying to shut down Site Y.

dynachrome ~ He didn’t go along with homos in the military?

Larry381 ~ Probably called a Taliban a naughty word.

Gave the wrong answer when asked if he'd shoot American civilians.

OneWingedShark ~ Purging the officer corps? If so, then to what end?

Yours.

Alas Babylon! ~ Maybe he declined to take Der Fuerher Oath to Obama.

Personal loyalty is such a precious commodity.

RoosterRedux ~ Oh, if only our military would pull a Morsi on Obama.

Does no one in the military have a sense of self-presevation?

I listened to that Marine on Rush talking about them urinating on those dead Taliban - says the Marines can have either Boy Scouts or men who want to protect the country. You can’t have both.

Question: Why not? There's nothing exclusive about being a moral upstanding person and being ready and willing to use violence to drive evil out. (e.g. Jesus and his home-made lash, driving money-lenders out of the temple and overturning tables.)

Before we get too carried away I would like to hear the reason. There are legitimate relief of commands that have nothing to do with politics although they are pretty rare at this level. Getting a command like this means you are a fast track guy for a star.

I suspect some of the General Officers have been relieved for political reasons, but a Colonel is not likely to be someone on the White House radar. Just saying - judgment reserved on this one and regardless of whatever it was I thank the Colonel for his service. Will follow the comments on this because the truth will likely be posted at some point.
