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.

Training camps on American Soil…….Run a few thousand black pit bulls into camp.. Teeth and jaws if steel. They’ll deball them first before they snatch their heads off…..
Obamas setting stage for America
Our real American citizens all need to leave the White House…….
He can cut military spending while financing islamic terrorist and supporting the hundreds of illegal immigrants that he brought to this country,not closing the borders to keep out the thugs and dope dealers out but it is alright to weaken this country. Something really does need to done about this tyrant that is posing as our president.
Our President is demanding more of a military but taking away the very people who have the most experience. He is effectively practicing what American Business has done for years, get rid of senior staff members to hire “New Recruits” and pay them half as much even though they can not do even a tenth of the job those with experience can!
What’s the old phrase, “Penny wise and Pound foolish?!?”
Hopefully those “experienced soldiers” will join the rest of the “experienced veterans” and we will ALL fight to give America back to the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
What did you expect, it’s Obama, he is the Worst President in US History and he clearly does not like AMERICA OR AMERICANS.
And, what’s the weirdest part of it all, is that the maintenance of a standing army for the defense of the nation, from all enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC, is the ONLY thing the Founders really wanted the federal government to do!
We are getting down so low we wont be able to defend ourselves or is that the plan.
