Purging America’s Military

Obama won't take responsibility for anything, or even fire his inept political appointees, but has anyone noticed what he is systematically doing to the military?

GORDON: Purging America’s Military

What in the world is happening to senior military officers under the Obama administration?

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable experience in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

Not surprisingly, while the president circles the wagons when it comes to his ideological allies, he is quick to throw a couple of hundred top military officers under the bus. Apparently, Mr. Obama and his team have no problem marginalizing the U.S. armed forces — and it shows. Maybe his top aide Valerie Jarrett said it best when addressing a four-star general, Army Vice Chief of Staff Peter Chiarelli, at Washington’s Alfalfa Club dinner in 2011. Mistaking him for a waiter, she asked him, “Could I please get another glass of wine?” Yeah, that about sums it up.

Some dots to connect:

1. Purging the top ranks of the military,
2. Creating additional armed Federal contingents,
3. Buying up billions of 9mm and .40cal ammunition,
4. Increasing the use of executive orders,
5. Distributing armored vehicles throughout the nation,
6. A secretive administration never seen before,
7. Bypassing Congress whenever possible.
