9 GENERALS FIRED, 2 MILITARY LEADERS SUSPENDED
Nine
commanding Generals have been fired, and two other leaders are on
suspension, in a historic military shake up. In our story from last
week, we covered the historic occurrence of two top-ranking nuclear chief’s fired. Today
The Blaze is reporting from their sources for the reasons why the
changes are happening. The timing comes as the five branches of the U.S.
armed forces are reducing staff due to budget cuts, and as U.S. troops
are expected to withdraw from Afghanistan next year. “I think they’re
using the opportunity of the shrinkage of the military to get rid of
people that don’t agree with them or not tow the party line. Remember,
as (former White House chief of staff) Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a
crisis,” a senior retired general told TheBlaze on the condition of
anonymity because he still provide services to the government and fears
possible retribution. “Even as a retired general, it’s still possible
for the administration to make life miserable for us. If we’re working
with the government or have contracts, they can just rip that out from
under us,” he said. Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an
outspoken critic of the Obama administration, said the White House fails
to take action or investigate its own, but finds it easy to fire
military commanders “who have given their lives for their
country.” “Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee
because they have bought into Obama’s ideology,” Vallely said. “The
White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the
investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He’s
intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing
us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out
is being purged.” B Swann
