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.

We need to fire all of our current politicans. with out any bennifits allowed.
Continuing his sinister plan..arrest obama
The only reason for Obama to pare down our Military is so he can hire his own terrorists to assist him with his goal of world domination. He is doing his best to destroy this country from within and usurping his powers in his last 2 years in office. Never fear, hopefully the next POTUS will hang him from the White House balcony for all to see.
OBAMA’S WAY OF BRING THIS COUNTRY TO IT’S KNEES..DAMN, I HOPE ALL YOU DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS ARE HAPPY.
Shoot him, cut out his tongue, shoot him and cut out his tongue.
CAUSE THEY WANT FIRE ON AMERICANS FOR OBOZOS GUNGRABBING AND COMMINBIST COUP..
impeach him
The reason he wants inexperienced “weak” fighters to go against the terrorists groups, is to ensure that the terrorists groups win the battles.Obama gets his marching orders from the Muslim Brotherhood and follows them willingly. It is so obvious that it sickens me to see the mass media keep quiet about it! My worry is that an inexperienced soldier will get an experienced soldier killed! If I were out in the field, and received word that I was “Fired” , I would resign immediately and leave the field of battle….why get killed when you are fired and told you will lose all when you return. Seems that Obama is wanting to have a battle with returning veterans….the revolution is coming ..at the behest of the government….
Obama wants to create his own army,who do you think hired those five Taliban generals that were traded for that deserter?
Obama is out to break this country any way he can. If he gets two more years, we may not survive.
