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 treats soldiers as fighting dogs, picks them when they are needed, throws when they aren’t anymore. This also refers to veterans, for whom the Government doesn’t have money to pay their rightful benefits
It is time we, as citizens joined forces and pushed back. there are some people that don’t want to get their head out of the sand. He is weakening our military to build up his own private forces. He wants to take over the country make it a dictatorship and Muslim. WAKE UP LEGAL CITIZENS!
Barak is anti-America, which naturally would make him anti-military. Heavenly Father bring real humility and leadership to our land.
They risk their lives and Obama does this can we please get some help for the ones who fight for you and your freedom
Pink slip Obama and his family there’s 44 million saved
BO is a terrorist
Yet sending money to the muslim brotherhood thugs to fight????? what a crock of c**p…….
The Pentagon is specifically targeting Muslim officers to replace them . They have no loyalty to the Constitution and would probably not hesitate in ordering their men to shoot American citizens.
Sure. Obama kicks out experienced soldiers & officers but pushes for nearly 4 Billion $ for illegal aliens crossing the border into the US. It just shows who he supports, and it’s not American citizens.
Congress do something
