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.

Obama you are not getting away with this because (HELL) is coming for you.
they want the elite warriors out of commission
But UNLIMITED funds to terrorists, and illegal aliens.
just more Republican propaganda the republicans in congress orded budget cuts in the military and then blamea president hahaha
Glen no republican would deliberately weaken our military. Obama is your stone age communist and socialist that is taking down America. A republican would not boot out some of our most experienced soldiers and then hire back a bunch of illegals. Now just think about how stupid that is! Obama is an idiot!
I wish that someone would do something. Obama is destroying this country and he doesn’t care about us. He wants the military to be someone who will shoot who he says. He is kicking the others out that will not do as he says. He thinks that he can get away with anything and he is right….he can because people don’t think that he can get people in place before he is out of office. I have no doubt that he can. We need to unite to do something before it is too late. It may already be but I hope not. God Bless America And may she come back strong. I got a note that said that KKK want to come back on the scene. I don’t think that is right. I don’t want people killed but I have a feeling that it will come down to it.
AMERICA, TIME TO FIRE OSAMA OBAMA, NOT OUR FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN.
