I have not, but am thankful for your and OldSarge’s thoughtful posts on this issue. Are there any numbers under recent GOP administrations with which to compare Obama? Were there documented dismissals under GWB where there were public differences between military officers and the administration? Such information would help put this possibly exaggerated purge concern to bed. Thanks.
I don’t have any numbers from previous administrations, but I do know that the military currently has something over 900 serving generals and admirals. The 9 sacked so far this year is about 1%. So, at that rate, in another 99 years EVERY SINGLE general and admiral currently on active duty will have been sacked. If that’s not a purge, I don’t know what is.
