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.

Because Obummer is trying to destroy this country from the inside. He is getting away with it because of the unbelievable fact that he got reelected to the most powerful office in the world. He is an Islamic socialist radical who is about to destroy our great nation!!
that’s okay, they’re going to hire MS 13 soldiers and assassin from Mexico, to replace them for half the cost, and they have no problem killing Americans !
Maybe the ones that have leadership abilities and war training will be able to join Americans in their battle against this tyranny! A gov to big to give you life free is a gov that will take it away and control you. I am a vet and I don’t trust anyone but me to protect my family and I will do so at any cost!!!!
We you need to remove Obama from office before he does anymore harm to our country.
Lol at blaming Obama instead of Congress, you sheep.
Maybe some of them would like to run for office!
how hard can it be to see all the harm he is doing
of course he is getting rid of the officers because they are proving what a jerk he is and not keeping quiet it.
this is because of congressional bill 112-25 which calls for a reduction in military spending over 10 years
John Bednarcik, he knows the harm he is doing. That’s the whole point. He is doing it on purpose
