Exclusive–Jerry Boykin: Generals Should Resign to Protest Obama's Misuse of Military

A new survey finds only 26 percent of those in the military community approve of the performance of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. But the blame for this low approval rating extends higher up the chain of command.

Retired Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, the latest former Obama loyalist to write a tell-all exposé, knows this all too well. In his memoir, Panetta describes how he warned the President (to no avail) that allowing Iraq to slide into violence would create “a new haven for terrorists to plot attacks against the U.S.”

This revelation should come as no surprise, but regrettably, it does. That’s because many Americans have been ignoring what’s really taking place in our troubled world. The books now being published only confirm what many people already knew -- or at least suspected -- regarding the character of Barack Obama. In reality, what is newly-exposed in these books is the lack of courage of the authors. One must contemplate the question of why these former Obama administration officials did not resign in ..........

They should resign? There’s nothing better Obama would like than more empty seats to fill.

No. stay and do what’s right for the military. Prepare to be persecuted for doing so and what you believe in.

I'm not clear whether they should resign or surround the White House until he gives himself up.

That sounds like a better plan.

Resign?!?

That would come under the heading Leadership which is not part of the criteria for becoming a General in today’s Army.

” surround the White House until he gives himself up. “

LONG overdue.

Every one who resigned would be replaced by “politically reliable” promotees.

Resign? They should all march into the Oval Office and demand Obama’s resignation instead. If he refuses arrest him for treason, try him, convict him, and lock him away in Gitmo for the rest of his natural life.

Jerry has lost his mind or he’s gone over to the dark side. No, the generals should be marching the usurper down the back steps of the WH past the garbage cans in handcuffs and on to Lakin’s old cell at Leavenworth.

Worth repeating.

If I were a general or high ranking officer, I would be weaseling my way as close to the top as possible, saying all the right things and following all these distasteful rules, while identifying like-minded people along the way. Then, when the left goes full out Stalin, and they think you are with them, do everything possible to restore freedom to America. Be in a position to defeat these people! Quitting so that they can promote the guys who will fire on civilians will not help us.

Also, to the extent possible, leak damaging crap about this bunch.

The clown would just appoint Muslim czars to replace them with. Better idea surround the White House till he surrenders then tar and feather the SOB.

you mean like what the Egyptian army did?

we patriots hope the military would rescue us, but I doubt they have it. Most high rankers are “career” men. Those that aren’t, are keeping silent.
