The Pentagon is currently firing thousands of soldiers experienced in the field of battle due to mandatory spending cuts.
For example, around 2,600 captains and other officers have been told ‘take a hike’ after risking their lives for all of us a soon as they leave their posts in Afghanistan.
Obama is weakening our military in many ways. A couple of examples would be…in the past few years he’s fired 200 of our top commanders for flimsy reasons and has eliminated highly successful programs like the Tomahawk missile. While at the same time he’s hiring illegal aliens into the military that he’s firing experienced soldiers.
Why would you fire experienced soldiers and hire illegal aliens that look like they couldn’t even pass the physical exam?
No legitimate president would weaken our military under any condition.
The Pentagon is laying off thousands of military officers, including those serving or who have recently served in Afghanistan.
Defense Department officials said the reductions are the result of mandatory spending cuts imposed by sequestration and are part of their larger plan to reduce the number of U.S. soldiers from 520,000 to 450,000.
Roughly 2,600 captains and other officers have or will be laid off, with more expected, Fox News learned Friday.
The decision to send pink slips to soldiers overseas on active duty is dangerous and bad for morale, says retired Major Gen. Robert Scales.
“It puts the soldier, the soldier’s family and the men under his command at risk,” said Scales, a Fox News contributor. “Young officers look at each other and wonder who is next.”
He said the Pentagon made a similar move after the Vietnam War.
The Army said the draw-down plan “is a balanced approach that maintains readiness while trying to minimize turbulence within the officer corps.”
On Thursday, Gen. John Campbell told Congress that 1,100 soldiers, including some currently serving in Afghanistan, would receiving pink slips due to sequestration budget cuts to the Defense Department.

This is an insult to all Americans, active forces and Vets.
soon we will have no defense thats what obama wants
The ones that could stop him, and are not, are just as guilty as him!!!!!
keep our soldiers and get rid of those in the government and white house, they are useless, taking up space and are not needed anyway
te says:
“Please pray for America in her time of need God please grant wisdom to our self serving politicians to do the right thing for once in their lives we need our country back! This is a simple fact of life. A nation can not survive without the rule of law. There is no freedom or safety in a community without the rule of law. When believers say that we no longer need the Torah or God’s rules for life as a community, they literally destroy themselves.
Most of Americans have lost hope in our leadership they seem to be more interested in promoting their personal agendas then defending and improving our way of life. God bless America and Israel. The DHS has to stop dishonoring Us Veterans we are Americans not domestic terrorists please use common sense truths not lies.”

…and if they are FIRED, that means no retirement benefits!
this must be addressed. we don’t need our military weakened by less soldiers or by loss of our experienced senior officers need for their experience. This a deliberate action to make us weak so the muslims can sneak in and take over. this must be stopped asap.
they are replacing military leaders with muslims and hiring illegals under the guise of obtaining citizenship because obumma knows they will have no problem killing Americans when he gives the order
No legitimate president would weaken our military under any condition.
Need to recruit these able bodied solders to our local militia to fight the coming battles against the Federal Government.
