For the second time in only days, the Navy has fired a ship's commander in connection with allegations of improper behavior.

Capt. David A. Schnell was removed from command of the amphibious assault ship Peleliu on Aug. 15 after Navy investigators concluded his behavior toward several crew members was "inappropriate, improper and unduly familiar," Navy officials said in an announcement.

7th ship’s CO this year.

I wonder if it is a political purge in slow motion.

I wouldn’t put it past the Obama administration.

Putting women on surface warships is sure working out real well. Subs are next. And down the tubes we go...

Well what do they expect from a co-ed ship? It was bound to happen eventually!

"I wonder if it is a political purge in slow motion. "

That's what I wonder too.
Who are the investigators?
Who is filing the charges?
And what kind of commanders are being put in charge in place of them?
And are those replacements Socialist or Muslim?

That was my thought too. The military is zero’s Achilles heel. Replacing the military with socialists and other effete types wold reduce the chance of a coup if we did really get into trouble.
These purged military personnel need to have an organized resistance contingency plan.

Purging the officer core of politically contrary personnel is SOP for a communist take over.

I think Obama and his minions are simply taking it slow so as to not to be noticed or raise suspicions.

The reply to a thread I posted last year has always haunted me about Team Obama's agenda.

My sophomore-year college roommate became a Secret Service agent. She resigned a few months ago.
The Secret Service being ordered to harass non-violent anti-Obama activists was the last straw for her.
