Why are our Military Leaders being Purged?
From the Trenches ^ | 10/20/13 | Uknown

Posted on 10/22/2013 6:09:34 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Are these senior officers being ‘shown the door’ deliberately? These occurrences are very unsettling. We’ll just have to wait for the scuttlebutt I guess. Let’s just pray no dishonor is coming to them from the Communist-in-Chief.

This strange chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th, Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year. This doesn’t include the long list last year, this is just the nine individuals this year alone.

The precise technical term is “consolidation of power”

Well, its like this.

In order for the Obamafuhrer to be able to lay down the New Order, he needs absolute control of the military in case the peasants become unruly. He already has the TSA and Homeland Security (THANK YOU JORGE EL SEGUNDO!!). But NOTHING beats PROFESSIONALS when the chips are down.

The best way to do that to secure the said “absolute control” is to purge the upper levels of generalship and replace them all with hand-picked droids who can be reliably expected to do his bidding.

The OTHER, EQUALLY important part, is to fill the ranks of the military with as many illegal aliens and immigrants as possible as they will have no connection with the subject population, no concept of historical political traditions, AND will owe their ultimate loyalty not to the government, but to the Leader.

If the above script seems familiar but vague, substitute
“Imperator” for “Leader”, “Germanic Barbarians” for “illegal aliens and immigrants”, “Republic” for “government” and “Romans” for “subject population”.

You get my drift?

Just my opinion, but this was predicted years ago. The officer corps has become politicized, to the detriment of the chain of command. The "best and the brightest" have departed, worn down by multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and compounded by ridiculous and dangerous rules of engagement foisted upon them.

My civilian friends just don't understand the importance of an effective chain of command. If the chain of command were doing its job, there would not have been an Abu Ghraib, nor would you have the other scandals that have cropped up.

Add to that the presence of the Lavender Mafia within the armed forces. I see it where I work, yet one better not speak of it.

As a Platoon Leader, I was told "everything my unit did, or failed to do, was my responsibility. It appears that our perfumed princes in the Obama/Hagel Pentagon do not live by that credo.

Obozo is getting advice from Erdogan, IMHO.

He also saw what happened in Egypt.

By using the FISA courts to check on the electronic communications of “our enemies,” I dare say that this administration has spied on its own military leaders and are purging those deemed less loyal to our “dear leader,” after finding some minor or imaginary infraction with which to charge them.

Obama: .... a civilian (cough)national security(cough) force just as well powerful, just as strong and just as well funded / equipped as the military

We don't really know what is happening in this removal of senior officers from the military and we don't know who is the driving force behind it.

It might be a purge by the administration (for a variety of reasons from lack of loyalty to fear of potential participation in an overthrow of Obama) OR it might be driven by forces loyal to the Country and opposed to Obama (i.e. these men might be part of an effort to save the Country from Obama yet do so outside the military).

Until the SHTF, we can only speculate.

Why would they bothering to trump up charges against these officers? Obama is perfectly within his sphere of constitutional duties in relieving them for whatever reason he wants.

I think it’s just SRDH - stuff runs down hill. Obama Changes the upper leadership of the military. Secretary of Defense and the 4 star generals. The rest is just SRDH from those new leaders.

“I was ordered to go in there and destroy the enemy. That was my job that day. That was the mission I was given. I did not sit down and think in terms of men, women and children. They were all classified as the same, and that’s the classification that we dealt with [here] over there, just as the enemy. I felt then and I still do that I acted as I was directed, and I carried out the order that I was given and I do not feel wrong in doing so.” ~ William Calley

Find the men and women capable of carrying this out in say Kansas and America will find itself counting the end of days.

Ya know, it’s plausible, but really wouldn’t be the way to go about it — trumping up charges.

This is petty vindictiveness which while not beneath Obama, he has bigger fish to fry with GOP opponents.

I think some of it [the charges] are true, some of them are merely Hagel cleaning house, while the rest is the anti-gay purge.

Flag Officers are supposed to be the model of self-discipline. Officers take a vow to be faithful to their country. How can you trust them if they break vows they take to their wives?

He has his masters as he is not intelligent enough to govern in any fashion beyond the finest parties, wines and meats.(See Zimbabwe, Detroit etc. etc.) Beyond that I would not argue with you. His masters do want a military composed of minorities, weird women and degenerates. The rule is keep the population divided into squabbling groups unable to resist. The minorities, weird women and degenerates will fire on people when the Social War actually gets really hot. Thus a purge is necessary necessary. We are already in the early stages of a Social War. I may even live to see mass shooting and burning and I'm old.

On the other hand some of those fired may actually have been drunks and gamblers in which case they should be thrown out. That is the unfortunate side effect of governance by lying we cannot tell the real reason for the firings.

If it is a purge then eventually one of those purged will "blow the whistle" not withstanding the threat to revoke their pension.

Making room for Obamabots who will be loyal to THE WON instead of the US Constitution.

Has the mid-level Roman functionary shown up yet to tell us this is perfectly normal?

“Bozo has decided to reduce the ranks to only political officers.”
AKA Commissars.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NATCCC, or simply the NATCs...
