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.

Obama needs to be arrested and imprisoned for treason for aiding and abetting our enemies and endangering the welfare of Americans
A big lose to America!
they should join the state militias
After he leaves office–we can expect to spend millions recruiting and training as we attempt to rebuild a decimated military!
Meanwhile, Putin, is going to put a big hurt on Ukraine and perhaps even more of Europe, and fly his bombers through the Gulf of Mexico threatening all of us on this continent too!
Why are they letting this happen? Come on someone STOP Obama NOW! Before he gets more of our men killed and wages war on the American citizens.. He is a traitor and is going against our Constitution by putting our Nation in harm’s way. So WHY isn’t he being arrested for treason?
This needs to me investigated……it is seriously wrong.
Wrong
to kill American citizens,why else
We will undoubtedly have to pay a major price and defeat when our homeland is attacked in the comming days by Isis or Islamic or Russia. Our future is precarious at best as our President and his yes minions set us up for defeat and takeover.
