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.

Join together and form the states on the border security firm. These are highly trained people who could fight for the rights of all Americans to keep us secure. STATES SHOULD HIRE THEM WHEN THEY GET HOME. SOME THE THE TAXPAYERS MONEY WOULD GO TO THEM.
I like what Arley said
Maybe Obama can be tried for treason before America falls to his Islamic co-conspirators.
Obama at his best WE NEED TO FIRE HIM AND KEEP OUR MILITARY
Stalin did that! Then he was hit with WW II, and no Generals to lead the Army! It took a couple of years to promote competent officers to command ranks, but they were saddled with ‘POLITICAL ADVISORS’ to make sure they did the right things, and to report bad things which led to their executions! Full political control of the Army! DANGEROUS!!!
This is not right. What can we do?
so that means they will be able to defend this country when the ass hole try his $#%&!@* with us remember their oath defend from enemy foreign or domestic and that oath stands
why doesn’t the Pentagon take a very big pay cut and keep paying these soldiers.
He is doing to US , what had been done in the Ukraine , they cut their services back so far that they had nothing to defend themselves with . This is exactly what the regime leader is doing , trying to ,one stop a military coup and two make his “army” stronger for when We the People get fed up with ALL of their $#%&!@* , become mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore , then reclaim our country. Then WE can put her back on track and retake our position as a world leader and defender against the muslim hordes that are trying to take over the world.
he wants the muslims to have an easy time when they try to take America,it ain’t going to happen.we will fight to oth and nail,and will kill every last one of them evil terrorsits and with the help of our god will destroy every last one of those evil muslim rebels.
