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.

He’s setting us up so he can take over and nobody will have guns to fight back.
unbelieveable. another plot to destroy America weaken our defense
Let’s keep those inexperienced Muslims and illegals so the Democrats have more votes. We spent all that money to train them and when they get some experience, we fire them. Obama would never survive in Corporate America. He’s an idiot!!
Impeach him.why is that so hard for the republicans to understand unless they want him to be successful in bringing the u.s. to its knees
It’s time to stop this Muslim Brotherhood president right in his tracks even by impeaching him if that is what it takes. We really need to save our military leaders before Obama tears our country’s defense system apart at the seams!
We would get Biden. Is that much improvement? Plus Obama would become a martyr for those supported by government handouts?
This is a part of Obama’s agenda to weaken America’s military force to facilitate our demise. One world government is Obama’s agenda, hoping to
be the leader.
that’s so the $#%&!@*en muslimsand illegals have it easier to take over
we need to fire obumer NOW
sounds like e better get the president out before he destroys america
