I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test†in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not.†Those who will not are being removed.

I can't even go to link. There is no way the military would tolerate silently such nonsense.

I have problems with a facebook source. Is there a real world news source for this?
PS, the 2nd link doesn't work.

2 things:
1) A legitimate news source would be nice, not a blog.
2) Senior military leaders can order what they want. That doesn't mean those orders will be followed, especially if it was an order to fire on unarmed Americans. Those senior military leaders might just find themselves trying to prosecute thousands for mutiny, only to have the panels for the courts-martial find they were illegal orders.

A blog can say anything. A news source is essential for stories of this nature.

#2 nails the problem with the whole idea, Doc. Of course Obama and his company of Leftist authoritarians have no idea that this is the way the military below his hand-picked generals actually think, since virtually none of them have any personal experience with the profession of arms as executed by US forces.
ETA - I'd also add that if our senior officers find out that really is going to be the litmus test, most of them will lie to pass it. Some of them would be willing to do anything they are ordered to do, some wouldn't and would just lie to protect their own asses, and some would say yea but rationalize it by saying mentally "Oh, this is really just about assholes like al-Awlaki, not real groups of US citizens in a domestic setting."

Wesley Clark and Waco come to mind?
Didn't I read from some 'news source' that he burned women and children to death in the church basement.
He also ordered the strafing of farm wagons full of escaping refuges leaving Kosovo.
He would be Obama’s kind of guy.
