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.

thats so damn stupid
and what do you want to bet, these “outside civilian candidates” will all be muslim
And let me guess Congress senate will allow him to do so right
I civilian should not be a general ever. That’s insanity…
Muslims I’m sure is what he has in mind.
Time to$#%&!@*this POS down to GITMO to meet and join his pals. I find no problem with the current military establishment arresting him for treason and running him to his next residence…in fact, I would applaud it…if Congress does not act, our military MUST to remove this treasonous POS…NOW!!!
only a stupid man would come up with a stupider idea
It’s an absolute conspiracy and this country is in huge trouble.
obama doing whatever he wants and people can not figure out why we the people are madder than hell, this president should have been impeached 7 years ago. Bidden would have looked out for americans not like obama
Felling safe now aren’t you??
