Have you tried to discover who those 197 people might be. That turns out to be very hard to do. Approximately 157 of them turn out to be Navy Lt. Commanders who are being released because of a reduction of Navy strength. A number of the others are mid grade officers who committed some infraction or place their ships in ad hoc dry dock by driving them onto reefs. Boiling it down, you can actually come up with the names of 9 general/flag officers who were sacked, mostly for personal conduct issues.

See my comment, still standing by it:

I have not, but am thankful for your and OldSarge’s thoughtful posts on this issue. Are there any numbers under recent GOP administrations with which to compare Obama? Were there documented dismissals under GWB where there were public differences between military officers and the administration? Such information would help put this possibly exaggerated purge concern to bed. Thanks.

Please do not allow facts to get in the way of a good conspiracy.

We are going through a draw down. Those folks who were “marginal” are being mothballed. This is happening all the way down the charts.

Are they are “justified?” I don’t have enough information.

But agree with you. These folks are not getting whacked because of “small” things.
