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.

Fantastic idea… we need these men & women inside the USA..
There is no reason for all of these cuts to the military, while he blows an ungodly amount on c**p and studies. We are going to need our military to defend our home place…..very shortly.
I didn’t know freedom and liberty could afford “spending cuts”!
no need to fire our men and women who are fighting for us. just stop paying monkey face and mrs.monkey face.
You wonderful American soldiers who are being fired should join the Patriots they could use you guys who are experienced in fighting against ENEMIES of America (like Obuma)
Because he is building his own dam army !!! And we are just sitting back letting him get away with this bs.
when a revoloution breaks out we will have highly trained soldiers waiting to defend thier country right at home
Who else purged the military in their quest for power, well lets see; Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pot, Castro, Chavez, etcetera. Some lived, Yes; most died. Get the picture ?
And all this bs thats going on with the border well thats part of his friggin plan as well !!! This is his way of bringing in men for his army as in Terrorist from the middle east .
I agree we are being pushed out because we can affect change in our country and lead it back to a great nation. I will join the Patriots.
