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.

Obama has been working at destroying our country and so far has been the only thing he has done with a gusto!
The president needs to take a hike. At least they are trying to protect our country while he is trying to destroy it. That is his plan all along, to minimize the military , BUT these men will be HERE to defend us when the terrorists try to attack.
They are replacing our American military with muslims
What the hell
The way the world is going today, we need an even stronger Armed Forces. This is wrong for Obama to weaken our defenses especially now that our world is in a turmoil. He has no sense of the dangers this poses to our country.
………WHERE IS CONGRESS IN ALL OF THIS MESS??????
well I don’t believe this, they can’t just fire a soldier.
VERY DISGRACEFUL. ALOT OF THE MEN HAVE MADE A CAREER OF THE MILITARY
HE KNOWS THE DANGERS AND IS THE PLAN….
The only way Obama can get the military to fire on American citizens is to fill the ranks with non-Americans.
