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.

need to hack off some of the fat in the white house first
Obama’s putting our country at risk.
More purging of loyal soldiers so BO can destroy is from the inside out
Hey. Let’s tell Obama to take a hike. Look at all the money this country could save. Anyone one else think this is a good idea.
Them soldiers can come home to their families and protect the USA from inside terrorists.
ALL OF THOSE IDIOTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE NEED TO BE FIRED
But isn’t he encouraging more muslims to enlist? The whole world is ablaze and Obama picks now to cut highly qualified military leaders…..Does anyone smell a rat here?
Some liberals will try to pass this off as being about a draw down because of so many military people from “Bush’s wars”. ( Dumb SOB’S ) Others say they are military now and that this has been happening all along and it is in order to give right of citizenship to immigrants and is about getting rid of military who have not made higher rank or excelled for years. Both stories are bogus excuses to try to cover for this Obama agenda.
We draw down after most conflicts end WW2, Vietnam, even post-cold war. Our numbers will end up similar to pre WW2. Who better to ask then the one’s who are serving…the one’s it is affecting right now? And what Obama agenda?

“This is a great post, although most will probably ignore it. E6 is probably a great example since high year tenure would be around 20 years, where as a chief would be 24 years i think.”
