Earlier this year, the Obama Administration began dumping high-ranking military officials at exceedingly high rates. Up to 25 percent of the country’s generals and admirals may be on the outs, and now we may know how they will be replaced.
While some justified the layoffs by claiming that new leadership needed the opportunity to rise through the ranks, now Defense Secretary Ash Carter is attempting to open these high-level positions to those who aren’t even serving in the military.
The move has many scratching their heads, while others are outraged at the proposition. At the most basic level, this allows unqualified individuals to take control of the United States military. Perhaps more worryingly, this also would also allow the Obama administration to insert whoever they’d like into the roles once reserved for qualified, experienced servicemen.
Why Obama would crave this newfound power is anyone’s guess.
See how one Marine reacted to Obama’s latest power-grab on the next page:
What now you want to appoint Muslims to head our Military I know this has to be an Obama idea ,he is the only one I know that thinks he is smarter than every body else in this world.ONE BIG PROBLEM he only has an average IQ.
== WHY DON’T THE GENERALS RISE UP ?
Looks like Obama wants a military like Russia (and the old USSR) has, i.e., before any military person can even load his weapon, he has to get permission from a civilian who will be a direct pick from Obama and no way for the citizens to vote out. I wonder if Hillary will go along with that.
this means he can make his daughters generals just like kaddafi
He wants to get rid of trained military leaders and hire his own from the civilian base. I think NOT. Bring back the ones you have discharged and put them back to work. Oh, wait a minute they wouldn’t turn on their own troops at the order of a dictator. Congress, house and senate you need to take him out of office.
fire obama
He hates the constitution
Obama trying to destroy our military.
yea he wants a bunch of hes muslims buddies in there
NO WAY IN HELL
