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.

pos what next our lives are being destroyed
What is happening to the United States of America is a test. A test of our courage of conviction. Deep within each of us we must make a conscious effort to decide to fight or remain still. We must value our traditions or completely dismiss them and form a new world order. God is watching us in our most darkest hour as we face evil from within and outside our border. Do we stay silent when judgement comes or do we charge to glory with the permission of our holy father? The breath inside of us is sensing danger, yet we still sit waiting for the right call, when the call has been made and we mute the message. Our livelihood depends on our conviction and our willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. The good as most remember of Sunday picnics after church with our family and friends, basking in the peace and solace of each other’s care. The good as some remember of the victory of our heroes enabling us to use their sacrifice as a compass for our right to freedom and liberty. The good few remember of the liberation of an oppressed world in war. The good none remember of an established republic the likes this world has never seen. Do we remember for our survival or do we forget for our sanity, neither will stop the repeated attempts of the evil of this world. It is with great sacrifice and vigilance we must never forget, yet we revise our lessons and tribulations for a softer and more accepted past. Our souls yearn for a glimpse at the courage many have gave to enable our vanities of today, but who among us wouldn’t give a moment of greatness for a lifetime of mediocrity. I challenge your spirit, your patriotism in the battle of good and evil, will you fight today for a more free tomorrow or will you resign your indignation to your vanity. The vanity of a people who put self above country or self above democracy. The battle is coming whether you are willing for it or not, waiting for us to delve within our souls to touch the hand of God who has blessed this country so. Fear not my brethren we will fight a good fight and when our children’s children remember the good, they will remember with verosity and abundance the gifts we were so willing to bestow upon them through our sacrifice and courage.
We need them here. If they are pissed at Obama all the better! They can come home and fight the real war here!
