Let me guess...this Admiral refused to kiss Osama Obama’s copy of “Rules For Radicals”.

Maybe the Admiral is simply a WASP. These days, that is close to being a felony, and may very well become a crime soon.

Must have been a political conservative. Probably answered, “No,” to The One’s survey about firing on Americans.

The purging of our military leadership must continue for the common good...

Has anyone kept track of the total number of flag officers Obama has removed in sanitizing the officer corps?

The Night of the Long Swords - “….. In 1933 Hitler’s agents burned the Reichstag, not just to sow fear and confusion, but primarily in order to charge his Communist enemies with treason as an excuse to obliterate them. The German “mainstream media” dutifully parroted the Nazi Party line, without investigating the true source of the arson.

A similar pattern of scapegoating has been followed in the United States throughout the term of President Obama…..” ~ Travis McGee/ Matt Braken

One thing I have noticed with Zippy and these flag Officer reliefs, the reasons never involve tactical decision making or abilities.

Are the numbers of terminated leaders greater now than at any other time in history?

Is this the same guy who was put on leave a few weeks ago over some gambling and fraudulent chips scandal?

There's not much in this update, but I believe it is. He was an Navy 3-star...deputy at STRATCOM.

One of my all-time favorite statistics:

At the height of WW II..the US had some 16 MILLION in uniform. Today, the number is about 2 million, yet we have more than 4 times the number of flag rank general officers/admirals than we did back then. It's called "rank" inflation..

Seems like a lot of general officers getting canned lately. The Administration wishing to elevate its flunkies?

Not hardly, there are about 960 flag and general officers on active duty in the four armed services and the USPHS.
Canning a couple of dozen of them over 6 years hardly qualifies as a purge of the Senior Officers Corp”
