A senior Navy intelligence officer has been removed from his position due to comments made regarding aggressive Chinese military movements that ran counter to the Pentagon’s talking points on the issue, according to the Navy Times.
Capt. James Fanell was removed from his position as the director of intelligence and information operations at U.S. Pacific Fleet. Fanell was reassigned within the command.
Though neither the Navy nor Fanell commented on the reason for the personnel change, it is widely believed to be due to an internal investigation of his comments on China, according to the report.
Fanell warned during a February public appearance that a recent Chinese amphibious exercise led naval intelligence to assess that China’s strategy was to be able to launch a “short, sharp war” with Japan, an unusually frank assessment about a closely watched region.
His comments, which ran counter to the Pentagon’s talking points on building ties to the increasingly assertive Chinese navy, were picked up by media outlets from The New York Times and Reuters to London’s Financial Times and Daily Telegraph. Top defense officials, including the 4-star head of the Army and the Pentagon spokesman, were forced to respond to his comment in the following days.

Yes, who ever said honesty is the best policy, never knew the Obungler.
Doesn’t this seem to be happening on a weekly basis? How many now? Who is replacing them? Ohhh, I get it. /s

Yes, there’s history. Not sure how well it’s tagged here at FR.
I was just thinking how cool it would be for the 2016 elected Conservative POTUS to reinstate all those that suffered the arrogant contempt of this regime.
grateful for the information .....thank you
Capt. James Fanell, the truth has set you free.

The camouflage of the north taxiways and aprons is likely done digitally to obscure whats there. Its to well defined to be netting, so one an assume there are a few hundred AC there.
China is gettin ready to move. Obama likely knows all of this, and is deceiving America and Japan yet again by pretending its not happening.
What is next for Obama. Put the whole Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor?
China then wont make its move until they rival us in military power meaning we will have a hard time containing them. we need stronger ties and military alliances with every other power in the Asia pacific region to stand up to china.
Love that graphic, but need a photo of Harry Truman. He was an artillery officer during WWI.
