Top generals: Obama is 'purging the military'
WND ^ | 11/1/2013 | F. Michael Maloof

Posted on 11/01/2013 6:24:45 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, recipient of the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, as well as other top retired officers, say President Obama’s agenda is decimating the morale of the U.S. ranks to the point members no longer feel prepared to fight or have the desire to win.

-snip-

The reference was to the recent firing of a number of generals to mask “Obama’s serial scandals, all prefaced by lies...

WND reported that three of the nine firings by Obama this year alone were linked to the controversy surrounding the Sep. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the CIA special mission in Benghazi, Libya.

In one case, U.S. Army Gen. Carter Ham, who commanded U.S. African Command when the consulate was attacked and four Americans were killed, was highly critical of the decision by the State Department not to send in reinforcements.

Obama has insisted there were no reinforcements available that night.

But Ham contends reinforcements could have been sent in time, and he said he never was given a stand-down order. However, others contend that he was given the order but defied it. He ultimately was relieved of his command and retired.

Now, new information in the Washington Times reveals there were Delta Force personnel in Tripoli at the time of the attack and two members volunteered to be dispatched to Benghazi to assist in protecting the Benghazi compound, contrary to stand-down orders from the State Department.

Another flag officer involved in the Benghazi matter – which remains under congressional investigation – was Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette. He commanded the Carrier Strike Group.

He contends aircraft could have been sent to Libya in time to help the Americans under fire. He later was removed from his post for alleged profanity and making “racially insensitive comments.”

Pentagon training manual: healthy,white,heterosexual, Christian men hold an unfair advantage

… Are you a healthy white male who is heterosexual and Christian? If so, the Pentagon training manual has declared that you hold an unfair advantage over other races. You are also a part of the so called “White Male Club.”

Pink uniforms and hair sculpting gel on the way. The pink uniforms will make targeting much easier but will be more fashionable and look better when blood gets splattered on them.../s

Win what? Afghanistan? Why are we even there any longer? It has been found Afghan and Iraqi Western style democracy was a pipe dream. I don't care how many Afghan women had a purple finger, trillions wasted with nothing to show for it. Send them into Iran for one last mission and then bring them home.

“...Obama’s agenda is decimating the morale of the U.S. ranks to the point members no longer feel prepared to fight or have the desire to win.”
“That is the objective...”

It isn’t even that complex; it is simply building a base of reliably Democratic voters. See it as nothing different than the teachers’ unions; they will consistently vote for the party that transfers our earnings to their pockets.

"Now, new information in the Washington Times reveals there were Delta Force personnel in Tripoli at the time of the attack and two members volunteered to be dispatched to Benghazi to assist in protecting the Benghazi compound, contrary to stand-down orders from the State Department."

First I've heard of that. Has this been confirmed or is it another WND speculation? I've read of the firings of the flag officers, but this is news to me.

Prediction: Hillary will NOT be our next president once all this comes out, providing we have a Cruz to confront her failings as SoS. Reset button, what a joke and sure Putin was LHAO after the meeting.

And while many claim Issa is a pretender, he is keeping this and other Obambi failings front and center. Between the Fast&Furious, IRS targeting, NSA privacy intrusion, Benghazi cluster, and especially the failing DemocratCare, the Republicans have so much ammunition for the mid-terms...if only they stop playing nice.

I'm thinking I may produce a slide-show or video production that includes all within a 60 second timeframe. Anyone want to help? Send me a freepmail. However, it needs to be short and concise and thoroughly vetted.

If the reasons for the purge are accurate, why hasn’t a single one of them come forward with the information to destroy the jug-eared dictator wannabe?

All that needs to be done, is a Larry Flynt style outing—We, The People, will reimburse all retirement benefits to any high ranking leader/officer who comes clean!

“Where is the House Armed Services Committee on this??”

The House Republicans are part of the coverup. The House Armed Services Committed could conduct hearings and compel the fired generals to testify. If compelled to testify under oath to Congress the administration could not relieve the retired generals of their pensions.

The reality is, the Republicans in Congress know what is going on with the current President. The fact they choose not to even attempt an effective opposition indicates they are complicit in what is occurring.

Why are they complicit? I can think of three possible reasons:

1) They are globalist progressive statists, not American patriots, and either secretly believe in the socialist agenda or hope to benefit from it.
2) They are being extorted. Likely many have been involved in extramarital affairs, kinky sexual relationships, and shady financial dealings. They fear being exposed. Others may actually fear the “Vince Foster” treatment.
3) Money. The big donors funding their campaigns have instructed them to keep quiet.

If you like your military, you will be able to keep your military. Period.

If you like your generals, you will be able to keep your generals. Period.

No one will take them away. No matter what.

Exactly.

And, it was reported that when a group met with Obama the night of the event, no CBA was signed.

And .. it might not have been needed if the Pres had just picked up the phone and called Libya and told them we needed to come in and rescue our citizens. Who’s to say that entry would not have been granted.

And .. anybody who thinks Hillary would make a good president should remember this .. WHAT SHE DID TO THOSE FOUR MALE CITIZENS, SHE WILL DO TO YOU!
