Obama's Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years . [ 2013 Benghazi and ]
Investor's Business Dail ^ | 10/29/2013 | EDITORIAL

What the resident calls "my military" is being cleansed .. leaving the compliant and fearful.

...

Carter Ham 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, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, notes how the White House fails to take action or investigate its own officials but finds it easy to fire military commanders "who have given their lives for their country." Vallely thinks he knows why this purge is happening.

"Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama's ideology," Vallely said. "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."

...

Remember, as (former White House chief of staff) Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a crisis."

For .. Obama, the military of a once-feared superpower is an anachronistic vestige of an America whose exceptionalism and world leadership require repeated apologies. It must be gutted and fundamentally transformed into a force wearing gender-neutral headgear only useful for holding the presidential umbrella when it rains. It is to be "his" military and used only for "his" purposes.

Would the author believe that a President Trump should leave General Milley in his current position?

Right or wrong, the president is entitled to generals and admirals who obey the orders of the commander in chief. If they can't then they need to go. If they are insubordinate then they need to go.

If everyone including repub leadership wasn’t against Trump, he could have done the same and got rid of the wokesters.

Russia, Russia, Russia was used to prevent Trump from doing things like that and BOTH sides knew the dossier was bs.

Ya’ll need to realize that Democrats are not Americans, they are Democrats, so when you elect them you must realize their loyalty is to the party and they will act accordingly.

Democrats job is to prepare the US to relinquish sovereignty to the Global Deep State. The Republicans job is to give the Democrats cover.

In 1945 the USA had 12.3 million men and women in uniform with 7 four star Generals, in 2020, the USA had 1.2 million men and women in uniform with 44 four star Generals in charge; WHY?

Osama Obama started the purge and Joe Birdbrain has completed it so now if the military is asked to take control of all states’ capitals regardless of whether it violates the Constituton, will they?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Obama used Stalin's playbook.

All that was missing was the one-way trip to The Lubyanka.

“”The White House protects their own.”

So general officers are being relieved of command, and probably asked to retire, because they disobeyed orders from an unidentified source under the Obama command, not to rescue fired upon American military and civilian targets in Benghazi? This you will not see on prime media as the Obama and Biden admin do not want to be held responsible for that decision and only wish to deflect the situation as it is still in recent memory.

“Right or wrong, the president is entitled to generals and admirals who obey the orders of the commander in chief.”

All orders of the commander in chief must be obeyed; unless the orders are illegal, and then they must be disobeyed.

Is that Milley's excuse?
