Earlier this year, the Obama Administration began dumping high-ranking military officials at exceedingly high rates. Up to 25 percent of the country’s generals and admirals may be on the outs, and now we may know how they will be replaced.
While some justified the layoffs by claiming that new leadership needed the opportunity to rise through the ranks, now Defense Secretary Ash Carter is attempting to open these high-level positions to those who aren’t even serving in the military.
The move has many scratching their heads, while others are outraged at the proposition. At the most basic level, this allows unqualified individuals to take control of the United States military. Perhaps more worryingly, this also would also allow the Obama administration to insert whoever they’d like into the roles once reserved for qualified, experienced servicemen.
Why Obama would crave this newfound power is anyone’s guess.
See how one Marine reacted to Obama’s latest power-grab on the next page:
if trump is not qualified to be a leader because he is an outsider how can these outsiders in military roles please congress stay strong don’t let him do this
exactly… from other countries! ridiculous!
TRAITOR!
No!!
You mean MERCENARIES. He’s trying to replace them with mercenaries who said they wouldn’t have a problem completing their orders if the order was given to fire upon unarmed American citizens.
This is not right at all. More Muslims in place as be over our military. Seriously!? Is this going to happen???!!!
we the people say no
No
Notice the operative word “appoint”. He wants control against the American people….
Now why old an administration that has six months remaining come up with such an Anti American idea? Sounds like a group that wants to take over something maybe the USA. They think the Generals won’t be on their side.
