Amazing how zer0 is making sure that there will be no military coups when he turns America into a fiefdom with his own coup.

The ones who will not vow to fire on U.S. civilians if so ordered are first to go.

His indiscretion? Gurganus questioned having to use Afghan security patrols alongside American patrols after two of his officers were executed at their desk and a platoon was led into an ambush.

Here's a good example of why I despise Barack Obama. He's not inept - he's rotting-fish-head evil.

This is what Stalin did in the 1930’s. The result? When Hitler attacked, they had a rally poor response to the attack. Russia was saved by General Winter and the depth of the country. Obama is doing this to greatly weaken the US military forces.

Nine officers is less than 1 percent of the total number of generals and admirals we have. I wouldn’t call that ‘gutting’.

Ha. They obviously haven’t seen the Facebook statuses of my Army Officer buddies because none of them have been ‘purged.’

Oddly enough, for once I don’t see any real perfidy here.

The bottom line is that all the armed forces are very top heavy, with far too many admirals and generals.

For example, the Navy is close to having more admirals than it has ships. During the Reagan Cold War build-up, there were about 2 ships per admiral. During the Vietnam War, 3 ships per admiral. And in WWII, 130 ships per admiral.

Back to the present, not only are so many senior officers left twiddling their thumbs, but the reduction in force of enlisted men makes things much worse. It also grinds promotions for less senior officers to a halt, and morale suffers.

Since flag grade officers are the interface with the political world, the office politics and infighting gets bad. Military contractors get sweet deals with the idea that they will hire retired flag officers as consultants and to swing deals with their old peers still in uniform.

This is not to say that this is not a politically correct purge, which it probably is. But once conservatives are back in power, they will have to purge as many or more officers who sold their souls to stay in their jobs.

In the best of times, the careers of flag officers have the lifespan of fruit flies. They are all within range of mandatory retirement, no matter what.

Below is copied from Coasttocoastam show. The first hour this guy - who is into an incredible lot of things - told about something one has to really worry about - controlling people’s minds.

We can wonder whether military will obey orders to harm ordinary citizens. But he explained about how they have mind controls that will overcome a person’s natural will so that they will do whatever the ‘controllers’ want them to do.

Everyone, after a few years on the job, has something in his record that the superiors can use to ‘get’ you if they so choose. Some little insubordination. Some words spoken while tipsy. If they want to fire you they will.

In this case the top guy is firing people who do not agree with him.

If only the American public would get its head out of its anal exit passageway and realize what’s happening.

This comment may seem far fetched, but I keep seeing “on purpose” in everything this admin is doing.

Thus, this purge of our best and brightest military officers is stunning .. as well as being a little frightening.

We have learned that these officers were ask, “... if there is a riot, will you fire on civilians ..?? If the officer said, “NO”, they were fired or asked to resign.

So, my conclusion as to the reason for this purge is to do several things: (1) continue the demoralization of our military; (2) continue the downgrade of our capability to defend ourselves; and (3) set up America to once again be in fear of an attack worse than 9/11.

And .. I can’t help but wonder if this admin is really hoping for another attack .. whereby they would be enabled to declare martial law. I’ve mentioned this possibility before, but since the officer purge, the sense that the end goal is martial law continues to bother me.

I know it’s hard for Americans to believe that our own President might be rooting for our demise. But, there is plenty of evidence to support the view that they are .. if you’re willing to look for and read the information available.

I was looking for lists, found this about 157 Majors nixed in 2011:

Here is the list of the others:

that is not all he is purging.

U.S. Air Force fires general overseeing nuclear missiles

Vice Adm. Tim Giardina Fired as No. 2 Nuclear Commander
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/vice-adm-tim-giardina-fired-nuclear-commander/story?id=20524735

Plus, I remember two different stories of purging the key turners. He is either setting us up to not respond to an attack, or he is setting us up to attack someone (Israel?).

Regardless, it is disconcerting. If we survive Obama, the Republican should consider reinstating or at least reviewing all the officers and Secret Service personnel (phony prostitute scandal?) that have been discharged or demoted, and look at whether Obama’s appointees should be purged.

I also hope there is a massive purge at that Snake (State) Department.
