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.

Justin Murphy this is what I mean
WHAT IS NEXT THEY NEED RETIREMENT PAY TOO.
But he doesn’t want a civilian to be President! Intresting. Would make you think he has “special civilians” in mind wouldn’t it?
More “I hate the military” BS from Obama. I’m sure the names for the civilian appointments will come directly from the Democrat Party donor lists. Corruption!
This would be a deadly choice for our soldiers! Look what happened in Benghazi!
Only muslims, I’m SURE!
Hell no
