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.

Shows how stupid this MUSLIM president really is. Navy retired.
Fact is he is not stupid, he is just evil and this is another step in his plan to further weaken our nation for a take over by his muslim brother’s. This is the ‘change’ that he promised when he was campaigning. Hope the idiots that voted for him will be happy with the ‘new’ US.
time for another war, this time against these traitors in our midsts
He Absolutely should be impeached then tried for treason….
Every thing he does has a purpose. He is is weakening our military om purpose and with plans for the future.
I am sure obuma is dumping the middle grade officers and ncos because they are the ones that actually train the new men and women coming into the military. Think about it, these are the experienced military personel who keep the military functioning. The general orders it, and the private don`t know how to do it. Without the middle grades, it may get done, but not very effectively, and it may take to long to do any good……………
so they can hired new people after amnesty
Well we will just use their battlefield experience to combat the clear and present danger in the near future.
he has lost all brain he has ever had, but this is one way he can control, has to be stopped
I think we will need them here !!!
