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.

because the traitor wants to distroy the U.S.
Hopefully those who are fired will get us all together and have a heck of an army.
Then maybe they will take care n get rid of all these isis camps n destry them after they get home. Our government doesn’t seem to give a c**p!
First its against the constitution to hire or put ANY illegals into our Military, it’s also against OUR constitution to hand any illegal , a fire arm. !! fact!
The reason?? I believe he’s destroying our military because he knows AMERICAN SOLDIERS WILL “NOT” KILL AMERICANS ON HIS COMMAND!! WHERE AS LEGALS WILL!!
Believe me I’ve researched and been feeling this was his intention for years. He wants Our AMERICA! AS A MUSLIM NATION. HE WILL NOT LEAVE DC. HE WILL Dictate Americans!! He stock piled enough ammo to stage a 30 year war. Based on amount of ammo the military used in iraq. Fact! Last week he said they were destroying the ammo, no use for it , BS. It is in fact that ammo is worth Multimillions it’s either going to be used Against AMERICANS OR HE’S HANDED IT TO HIS TERRORISTS FRIENDS, BUT I BELIEVE IT’S TO KILL AMERICANS WHEN HE CALLS MARTIAL LAW! Then HE Stays in the White House indefinitely.!
,,Before I knew of him a friend” knowing me well asked me what I felt about him ” feelings”, the feelings were grief, and were horrific, Severely dangerous, evil. I saw war here in America. So please be careful & Alert. It’s not good, it’s severe!
God Be with us and keep USA safe!
Part of his plan to have a military that will fight against Americans with him!
Obama is Muslim! He doesn’t care about Americans or our own military!
Obama will get rid of Americans and replace them with undesirable Muslim & a few other illegals to replace the cut-backs !!!
Get ready people war is starting.
Isn’t it nice to have all that idiotic power Obama. Makes you feel like a king doesn’t it? What are you going to do when all this officer experience is needed and they thumb their nose at you? I guess you could always get your ISIS brothers to fill in. Are you really this stupid or did you have a mind fart? GD
The best news is we the people have all these ex military folks on our side.
