Obama building 'compliant officer class' (the purpose of the military purge)
WND ^ | 11/16/2013 | F. Michael Maloof

Posted on 11/13/2013 6:03:06 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Since WND’s ongoing coverage of what some top generals are openly calling a “purge” of senior military officers who run afoul of Obama or his agenda, some military personnel have been speaking out.

According to a veteran Army intelligence official who spoke to WND on condition of anonymity, there is within the armed forces a major concern that a “compliant officer class” is being created by the Obama administration. So much so, he said, that it’s becoming harder and harder to find “senior officers with a pair of balls in there [the military] now that would say no to anything.”

“Maybe at the rank of major or below, and possibly there are some in SOF (Special Operations Forces), but to make colonel and higher is all politics,” he said.

To underscore this concern, the official said almost no public concern was expressed by officers to the recent repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy or the decision to allow women into front-line combat.

“I didn’t read one piece of resistance to the DADT repeal, and I haven’t seen one peep about females in the infantry,” he said.

His comments echo those of retired generals who have expressed alarm over the high rate of dismissals of high-ranking officers in the Obama administration.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, a recipient of the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, told WND Obama’s agenda is decimating the morale of the U.S. ranks to the point that members no longer feel prepared to fight or have the desire to win.

“There is no doubt [Obama] is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him” over issues as “homosexuals, women in foxholes, the Obama sequester” said Brady, former president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.

“Compliant” with orders to disarm, oppress, and exterminate citizenry that resists the collectivist takeover of America.

Meanwhile, Congress sits idly by and does what to protect the nation from this outrage?

There aren't enough military to do that in the armed United States. The military couldn't do it in a little country like Afghanistan.

I think Obama wants to remake the military in his own image...

I believe that they already have them, or the equivalent , they refer to them as Equal Opportunity Officers.

That's what Hitler, Tojo, Mussolini, and Stalin had.

Obama is in lock step with the same crowd that has hated and despised the military since Vietnam. They were the radicals in the streets of Chicago in 1968, throughout academia and the media since and now sitting in the White House and Congress. They have no love whatsoever for the military or veterans and view the active force as nothing more than a left wing social laboratory. Gender neutral physical standards mean the minimum female standards will be used for everyone and other standards will be lowered as well. Radical, aggressive homosexuals already are making their presence known as are atheists. If this crowd can destroy or severely cripple the military before they leave town in January 2017, they will consider their reign a success. The next President needs to fire every three and four star officer who meekly went along with this too. Clean house and start over with officers who put their country and military ahead of their careers and personal interests.

One reason Obamacare is imploding is that he’s filled his administration with yes men, and nobody is willing to come and tell him the truth when he’s pursuing a bad idea.

Should work out really well to replicate that within the military.

Johnny,

The rules of Engagement are against our guys in Afghanistan. I would be willing to bet that the ROE here in America, in the case of Civil War, would be very relaxed. ie: Shoot First, ask questions later... Oh... no survivors? They must have been rebels then.

Still not enough if you run the numbers. Logistics win wars.

Every regiment in the old Red Army included a political officer that insured "compliance" and made sure no one spoke any unorthodoxy.

In fact, all decisions had to first clear the political officer.

It stands to reason that obama would follow the template.
