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.

I remember when our military was so strong nobody messed with us. Now they know we have a weak military. But I am proud of my oldest grandson, he is going into the Marines! Yay Michael.
Proving once again that he is indeed very ,very scared of the American Armed Forces , they are the only ones on the planet with the right to remove him from office on a moments notice , we all swore an oath to defend our Constitution against ALL enemies both foreign and domestic , and that describes him to a T ! ! !
Folks I think its passed time that we the people do something about this quack in wh you may not agree with me but I think its time to storm the gates of hell with a show of Force yes we all go to the the wh and demand they obey the Constitution and very Nicely but firmly make a strong showing with many thousands of us sometime coz time is running out I hope we can get rolling thunder to put on a display too. We the people got to do something to show the face of evil(them in D.C. who are doing what we don’t like) a ton of strength and determination that they work for we the people.
It is time for congress to stop the termination of thes fine military personel.
pitiful
Lock & load guys. The war is only beginning!!
we can use them whem obola sends his private police around
Going to have the illegals join the military then use them against the people.
1 officer to 5 personnel is too many officers. need to reduce.
it’s another way Obama wants to destroy our military .
