Obama purged military of those who sought victory
American Thinker ^ | September 10, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 09/10/2016 3:59:53 PM PDT by george76

It was not hyperbole when GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said that under resident Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the U.S. military had been "reduced to rubble" and left floundering without a coherent strategy or meaningful capability to win wars. It is a fait accompli, engineered by our commander-in-chief to reduce America's global footprint, an America he has profusely apologized for, and one he blames for all the world's ills.

Almost as soon as he took office, resident Obama began a military purge not dissimilar to those routinely conducted by third-world despots, with the goal of eliminating voices that might oppose his withdrawing America from the world stage

...

what has happened to our officer corps since resident Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security posture. We have commented on some of the higher profile cases, such as Gen. Carter Ham. He was relieved as head of U.S. Africa Command after only a year and a half because he disagreed with orders not to mount a rescue mission in response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi.

Rear Adm. Chuck Gaouette, commander of the John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group, was relieved in October 2012 for disobeying orders when he sent his group on Sept. 11 to "assist and provide intelligence for" military forces ordered into action by Gen. Ham.

...

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely ... The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious, Benghazi and ObamaCare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged."

Trump should try and reinstate officers that were driven from the service. this should be done quietly with out fanfare.

How can this be viewed as anything other than treason?

Trump’s going to need a kick-ass AG - there are a lot of very, very powerful people who need to be sent to jail

The founders tried to prevent this.
They put the natural born citizen requirement in there.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

Trump was right again... look at some of the statements made by former generals under Obama:

Barry exposed:

A purge of 500 leaders by Obama:

Obama “emasculating” military:

Central Command leader General James Mattis is fired w/o a phone call:

There is plenty more. This all needs to be pushed into the open before Illary walks/crawls/slithers/is carried into the next debate and attempts to lie about Trump when he said the generals have been “reduced to rubble”

One thing Obama has taught us during his reign. Always do the opposite of what he would do.

The US Military has a carefully designed culture of excellence and superiority. We have a military that has been the envy of the world since WW2.

Obama has been attempting to destroy that culture. Introducing gays, women and transgenders into the ranks is part of his plan. Forcing political correctness into the ranks is another part.

Firing those who resist the culture change is the big hammer.

Any “Want to be” terrorist could take a lesson or two from him how to run a country in to the ground and have an ignorant public cheer him on while doing so. Not to mention all the ones on the left along with many RINOS who are not a whole lot better assisting him to finish the job. All I can say is heaven help this country to bring it back on track hopefully with the help of Trump, that is if enough people come to their senses and vote for him.

Amen! 3-4 were relived over the Benghazi shame.

And this is what Trump meant by reducing them to rubble.

The war fighters and those who understand their oath and are dedicated to it have been removed.

But many of them yet live.

Will they still hear the call when Trump is sworn in?

"Trump should try and reinstate officers that were driven from the service. this should be done quietly with out fanfare."

No, it should be done with great fan fare, a massive swearing in ceremony in a AF hangar on day one or two. So that the pusillanimous weasels in the Senate on Defense and Intel committees, and all the millicrats get the message we are back in business of killing the bad guys. Get in, buckle up, hang on, and shut up...
