I’m sure he just forgot to sign his insurance beneficiary forms or something.

I’m sure he’ll need it now.

I sure wish David Hackworth was still around to cover these apparent purges.

Vague? A lot of shuffling and firing going on in the military brass lately it seems like. Something wrong is going on in the upper ranks, and it can’t be good.

I sure wish that despicable General Dempsey would get shuffled out while they’re at it.

Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette has been accused of “inappropriate leadership judgment,” according to a Navy official familiar with the case.

Any of you Navy or ex military guys care to speculate on what inappropriate leadership judgment could mean?

Dempsey is an 0bama "yes massa" man with his lips firmly planted on his butt; he has no honor, so he's the kenyan's type of guy.

And he supports the Muslim usurper’s desire to appease Muslims as opposed to Americans.

There is no way I don’t believe that Hussein is a Muslim. He is too familiar with it, when he speaks of it, it’s one of the few times there’s any real feeling or sincerity in his voice. When he wished the Muslims a happy Eid or whatever the most recent holiday is called, the words came naturally and fluidly, as opposed to the stilted phrases and tones he uses when speaking of a Christian holiday.

Kind of a catch-all phrase. It’s what you use when you don’t have a specific charge or you don’t want the truth out there for everyone to see. The Navy is pretty serious about leadership. It may actually be used to try and gracefully remove the guy. Might also be a way to get rid of someone you don’t like. With the Navy, I’d bet on it being a graceful removal.

The way the military has changed under Obama, “Rear Admiral” has taken on an entirely different meaning.

There are strong rumors going around that Obama got more than a little push back from his "stand down" order. Cf. Rumor re Gen. Ham. This is probably not directly involved but Obama and Dempsey do seem to be executing a Night of the Long Knives so as to secure more trustworthy support for the regime.

Here’s what I think his motivation is (besides CYA).

While the bad guys in the WH are scrambling to deny their cover up and misdirection, I believe there is another long-standing related issue with this.

IMO Obama has as one of his main goals: improving the image of Islam around the world and helping its expansion.

Of course the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other fanatics keep getting in the way by killing ambassadors and shooting 14 year old girls.

Look at the apology tour, the support of the muslim brotherhood, moslems in the top of the state department advisors and the WH. Add his comments about the film for 14 days, even after he knew is was a terrorist attack..

The calling of the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, workplace violence, is just another outlandish example.

Stevie Wonder can see the pattern. Any decent reporter could make this into a headline story if they had the balls.

I actually Served with Rear Admiral Gaouette when he was a Lieutenant heading the Weapons Department aboard the USS Fletcher (DD-992). One of the best Department Heads I had the pleasure to know.

To have him removed from the Carrier Strike Group mid-deployment is odd to say the least.
