It’s little secret that America’s military strength hasn’t just waned under the Obama administration, but plummeted. Weapons systems have been neglected, troop strength has declined and the president has been using the armed forces as a social experiment.
So, if someone were to tell you that America’s military were just as strong as ever, you would probably laugh.
One group that wouldn’t, though, are the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When Obama mocked them over America’s military strength during last night’s speech, the men who lead our military said it all with their demeanor — stony-faced, unsmiling and not clapping.

Well, like every other branch/agency of the government they let him get away with everything because only a “racist” would object to anything Obama could possibly do.
Current Vets would likely disagree with you.......but that's another argument you don't want to venture into......
My belief, and I'm not sure where I read it, is that the Founders had a problem with military officers swearing allegiance to any individual.
Of course, the UCMJ has more than enough provisions to dissuade officers from butting heads with the President.
How many members of your House of Representatives and our U.S. Senate supported our war against the center of Islamic terrorism training in Iraq?
If I'm not mistaken, your Dem favorites such as Hillary, John Kerry, and all the rest of the high ranking Democrats supported the war. And if not for Obama's withdrawing all of our troops from Iraq following our success, Iraq would still be a stable country free from ISIS.....
So what is your question again?
Let me guess, your answer is "I was for the war before I was against it".............ROFLMAO!
Those guys all know they are soon to be fired anyway. Obama will replace each of them with some transgendered illegal alien muslim for the sake of diversity.
How so?
Was Obama not elected by a majority of voters?
Yes.
Blame them.
The military is under civilian control. I don't think we want it any other way.
And the Oath is to the Constitution, not the government, not the Congress, not the Supreme Court, and not the President.
The citizens of the United States get to vote for the President every four years. What is solider, sailor, airman or a Marine supposed to do if the people vote for a liberal moron? It's happened before. It will probably happen again, sadly.
It is not up to the military to defy the will of the people, no matter how deluded and stupid they are.
If any president violates the Constitution in a blatant way, then, and only then, should the military do something--but that would still be unprecedented in 229 years!
Like it or not, Duh-1 is the Commander in Chief, and he can demand their resignations any time. If they don't have the job, they can't in any way mitigate the effects of policy dictums.
Totally agree she is a typical Chicago, gun-grabbing leftist idiot. But then again, so is Mark Kirk.
Maybe they have a “Hulk”.

Did any of them have the coerced prisoner of war sign going? (crossed fingers)
If they really wanted to make a difference, they would have all stood up, taken off their insignia, and walked out in silence.
A dozen admirals and generals couldn’t find a set of balls between them.

Enemies foreign and domestic. He’s both.
You are a Romneybot. Your comments have no value because your judgement has no value.
In such situations, resignation is the only moral option. Their mass resignation would have more impact than any mitigation they might advance.
State of the Union, Feb 12, 2013.
It’s my favorite Cruz gif.
Balance that against remaining in place and quietly muting the agenda of those who would harm their particular branch of the service when possible to do so. Mass resignation would open all their jobs to people who will enthusiastically march in lockstep with the administration, to the detriment of the Services and the country.
