Nine senior commanding generals have been fired by the Obama administration this year, leading to speculation by active and retired members of the military that a purge of its commanders is underway.
Retired generals and current senior commanders that have spoken with TheBlaze say the administration is not only purging the military of commanders they don’t agree with, but is striking fear in the hearts of those still serving.
The timing comes as the five branches of the U.S. armed forces are reducing staff due to budget cuts, and as U.S. troops are expected to withdraw from Afghanistan next year.
“I think they’re using the opportunity of the shrinkage of the military to get rid of people that don’t agree with them or not tow the party line. Remember, as (former White House chief of staff) Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a crisis,” a senior retired general told TheBlaze on the condition of anonymity because he still provide services to the government and fears possible retribution.
“Even as a retired general, it’s still possible for the administration to make life miserable for us. If we’re working with the government or have contracts, they can just rip that out from under us,” he said.

I heard .. that the officers were asked if they would shoot citizens .. and if they said NO, they were fired.
If .. by any chance .. this info is true .. at least we will have some good commanders FREE to support the American citizen; instead of licking the boots of “O”.
We have 300,000,000+ guns, and way more ammo. And the soldiers are our sons.
I’m pretty confident if TSHTF.
I do not know the bonefides of this blog, but the story relaing to the Air Force nuclear guys’ dismissals is mind blowing. Is anyone familiar with this site or the Youtube speaker?
Yep.
“The term “repression” was officially used to describe the prosecution of people considered counter-revolutionaries and enemies of the people by the leadership of the Soviet Union. The purge was motivated by the desire to remove dissenters from the Communist Party and to consolidate the authority of Joseph Stalin. “

Very similar. Only the names have been changed.
“The term “repression” was officially used to describe the prosecution of people considered counter-revolutionaries and enemies of the people by the leadership of the New Soviet Amerika. The purge was motivated by the desire to remove dissenters from the Democrat Party and to consolidate the authority of Barack Hussein Obama. “
Bush was already stocking the military with ultra-P.C. leadership.
Never Again? The Regime sounds like all the other dictatorships in history, ya think?
I have a fellow musician who I chatted with the other day. He’s retired Navy and Army and worked with a military sub-contractor. I asked him about this and he affirmed it as he said he “knows a couple of generals”. He also mentioned the ‘litmus test’.
