Dozens Of Retired Generals, Admirals Back Iran Nuclear Deal

[bodecea]

At the risk of the length of this being a problem, I'm going to post this anyway. People have to see what Obama has done.

Obama getting rid of all the competent senior officers in the military and replacing them with his yes men has probably done more harm to this country than any other thing he has done, including that disastrous Obamacare.

That is his filthy Hope and Change at work.

These Moon Bats were idiots electing Obama.

Talk is cheap. Where's your proof that there was some purge of senior officers?

Ostrich try outs in your area?

I'm near NORIS, home of PACFLT, MCAS Miramar, and Camp Pendleton....the news on base and on many off base sources is military oriented. And what is YOUR military news pipeline?

Here you go....

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

Dozens of retired generals admirals back Iran nuclear deal - The Washington Post

The Republicans are the first in line to say, "Listen To The Generals", well maybe this time the Republicans will do exactly that.

Three dozen retired Flag Rank Officers (Admirals and Generals) have released an open letter supporting the Nuclear Agreement between the P-5+1 and the Islamic Republica of Iran.

These Flag Grade Officers are encouraging Congress to do the same.

As often as we hear how Republicans want our President to listen to the Generals, maybe the time has come for the Republicans to do exactly that.

If you are presented with the choice of the Iran deal or going to war with Iran with Obama as commander in chief the choice is obvious.

I don't think that is all, either

#1...how does that compare with other times w/other Presidents?
#2...a lot you posted are mid-ranks...not stars
#3..did a little digging myself...all RW sources. I read the Navy Times and see the Marine Times a lot when I go to Pendleton....not an issue to those mags...wonder why they haven't found out

Generals, Major General, Colonel, Brigadier Generals, Rear Admiral. Vice Admiral, Commanders

Those don't sound like mid rank either.

I recall reading long ago, that many of these commanders were nearing retirement. That's a Bummer.

And do you recall, that some commanders were bad mouthing Obama and were dismissed for paltry reasons.

RW sources? There are names of those who got the boot. That wasn't a bogus source.

I don't think that is all, either

Major General Ralph Baker....all I can find on him Ralph Baker general - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

 

[Jackson]

The Obama Administration has purged the DOD of all the senior officers with balls. All that are left are the yes men.

Interesting assertion. Now, back it up with facts.

Here you go....

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

Here is another with names:

At the risk of the length of this being a problem, I'm going to post this anyway. People have to see what Obama has done.

I don't think that is all, either

Gonna go thru a bit of your list:

Your first guy...General John Allen John R. Allen - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia Not fired...in fact he's now working in the Obama Administration.

So you are saying all 200 are working for Obama?

In November 2012, he came under investigation for possible "inappropriate-communication" concerning his correspondences with Jill Kelley, the Honorary Ambassador to U.S. Central Command Coalition Forces.[16] In response to the investigation, Secretary Panetta suspended his confirmation hearing for commander of EUCOMand requested the U.S. Congress to speed the confirmation of General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. to command of forces in Afghanistan.[17] On January 22, 2013, General Allen was cleared in a misconduct inquiry.[18]

On February 10, 2013, Allen relinquished command of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) to General Dunford.[19]

On February 19, 2013, U.S. President Obama accepted Allen's request to retire from the military as his wife fell seriously ill.[20]

I don't think that is all, either

Major General Michael Carey - Michael Carey United States Air Force officer - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia you want to support this guy?

On July 14–18, 2013, Carey took part in the work of the Bilateral Presidential Commission, Military Cooperation Working Group during the two-day U.S.-Russian Federation Nuclear Security Exercise 2013 in Sergeiv Posad, Moscow, Russia. He headed the Department of Defense delegation, which consisted of three commissioned officers and five civilian personnel from DOD. In October 2013, Carey was relieved of his command of the 20th Air Force and Task Force (TF) 214 by Lieutenant General James Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command,[3] after an examination of Carey's behavior in Moscow conducted by the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations. A delegation member representing the Office of the Secretary of Defense with a first-hand knowledge of the incident, whose name was not revealed, triggered the investigation by reporting it to the superiors.[4] Later, she told the investigators, "I realized that this was putting us all at risk, especially Russia and women, and I just wanted nothing to do with that".[5]

The Washington Post wrote that Carey had drunk excessively and fraternized with foreign women during the visit.[5] The New York Times claimed that Carey's behavior during the official meetings was not appropriate, including "interrupting speakers and correcting a Russian translator", and that he was over drinking during the visit, and once attempted to play with a restaurant band.[6] Under the Freedom of Information Act, American journalists filed a request and received a redacted copy of the official Report of Investigations Concerning Major General Michael J. Carey. The report revealed that Carey's behavior was considered by his colleagues as rude toward the Russian hosts during the exercise and related briefings, especially, when he made comments about Syria and Snowden.[4]

As a reprimand, Carey was given a "letter of counseling". He was relieved of his duties and assigned as a special assistant to the commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command Gen. William L. Shelton, who issued a statement: "This was an unfortunate incident, Major General Carey has otherwise served the nation extremely well".[5] On April 10, 2014, it was announced that Carey will retire on June 1, 2014, in the rank of brigadier general.[7]

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

I don't think that is all, either

Colonel James Christmas - Commander of 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit relieved of command Marine Corps Times marinecorpstimes.com From the Marine Times....sounds like his command was not up to snuff Would that have been ok with you going into battle zones like that?.

It doesn't say why he was relieved, does it. Shhh don't talk bad about Obama... Could be either reason.

 

[bodecea]

The Obama Administration has purged the DOD of all the senior officers with balls. All that are left are the yes men.

Interesting assertion. Now, back it up with facts.

Here you go....

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

Here is another with names:

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

Obama's purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

At the risk of the length of this being a problem, I'm going to post this anyway. People have to see what Obama has done.

I don't think that is all, either

Colonel James Christmas - Commander of 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit relieved of command Marine Corps Times marinecorpstimes.com From the Marine Times....sounds like his command was not up to snuff Would that have been ok with you going into battle zones like that?.

It doesn't say why he was relieved, does it. Shhh don't talk bad about Obama... Could be either reason.

Probably didn't pass a pre-deployment inspection. That happens....god save any commander of a ship, a squadron, etc. that doesn't pass an operational or safety inspection.

But go ahead and see boogie men.

I don't think that is all, either

Colonel James Christmas - Commander of 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit relieved of command Marine Corps Times marinecorpstimes.com From the Marine Times....sounds like his command was not up to snuff Would that have been ok with you going into battle zones like that?.

It doesn't say why he was relieved, does it. Shhh don't talk bad about Obama... Could be either reason.

Probably didn't pass a pre-deployment inspection. That happens....god save any commander of a ship, a squadron, etc. that doesn't pass an operational or safety inspection.

But go ahead and see boogie men.

LOL!! There is one boogey man and he visits the oval office from time to time. When he gets pissed, heads roll. You see 200 reckless commanders, lol. Now what makes more sense? Two hundred miscreants or one man who wants to dismantle the armed services?

Here you go....

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

It seems that every week since President Obama took office in 2009, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been summarily fired, despite his decades of loyal service and valuable in protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

Here is another with names:

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

Obama's purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

At the risk of the length of this being a problem, I'm going to post this anyway. People have to see what Obama has done.

I don't think that is all, either

Major General Peter Fuller - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/world/asia/us-general-fired-over-remarks-about-karzai.html He opened his big mouth and pulled a Patton. That's ok with you?

In other words, he opened his big mouth...uh huh

You never served, did you? A senior military official is NOT to publically disparage a foreign official, let alone the President of the country your forces are working out of as GUESTS. Guaranteed firing. As I said, it happened to Patton for less.

B-b-but Obama is so irrelevant. He hasn't a clue about the armed services. He just wanted to dismantle what was in place.

I don't think that is all, either

Colonel James Christmas - Commander of 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit relieved of command Marine Corps Times marinecorpstimes.com From the Marine Times....sounds like his command was not up to snuff Would that have been ok with you going into battle zones like that?.

It doesn't say why he was relieved, does it. Shhh don't talk bad about Obama... Could be either reason.

Probably didn't pass a pre-deployment inspection. That happens....god save any commander of a ship, a squadron, etc. that doesn't pass an operational or safety inspection.

But go ahead and see boogie men.

LOL!! There is one boogey man and he visits the oval office from time to time. When he gets pissed, heads roll. You see 200 reckless commanders, lol. Now what makes more sense? Two hundred miscreants or one man who wants to dismantle the armed services?

Military officers get relieved of command and it's all President Obama's fault. Ok, you run with that. I can tell you have no idea how the military works. And 200 officers from 0-4 to 0-8 getting relieved of duty in a 5-6 year period isn't all that unusual. Now, if it were 200 stars...you might have something, but the majority of your list was O-4s to O-6s....there are thousands and thousands in all the branches and some screw up and get relieved. We had an O-4 who was the Ops O in our command and was a raging alcoholic...he was relieved. VP-1 in Hawaii and a P-3 land wheels up and the CO, XO , OpsO and Safety Officer were ALL relieved. that was during Reagan's adminstration. Shall we blame him?

Here is another with names:

Obama apos s purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

Obama's purge of the U. S. military is unprecedented

At the risk of the length of this being a problem, I'm going to post this anyway. People have to see what Obama has done.

I don't think that is all, either

Major General Peter Fuller - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/world/asia/us-general-fired-over-remarks-about-karzai.html He opened his big mouth and pulled a Patton. That's ok with you?

In other words, he opened his big mouth...uh huh

You never served, did you? A senior military official is NOT to publically disparage a foreign official, let alone the President of the country your forces are working out of as GUESTS. Guaranteed firing. As I said, it happened to Patton for less.

B-b-but Obama is so irrelevant. He hasn't a clue about the armed services. He just wanted to dismantle what was in place.

I can tell who doesn't have a clue about the Armed Services....

 

[2aguy]

Yeah right. Like you all cared what the Generals had to say OR what they backed during the Bush administration.

Obama is not OUR DICTATOR and if we the people don't want this stinking deal. we will push our Representatives in Congress to STOP IT.

it's tough shit if you democrat cult members, the washingtonCOMPOST don't like it.

we don't bow to Obama. if you in the cult Obama want to, have at it

Retired General Colin Powell..."Pottery Barn rules...you break it, you bought it" ... in regards to invading Iraq.

Powell supported Obama twice. Enough said.

Probably had a good reason to, considering what he saw from the inside of the Bush Administration. BTW, he was right about Iraq.

No he wasn't, the place was contained until he refused to give the Generals the man power they requested, and at the same time announced the day we were pulling out...in the face of the facts on the ground as the day approached...
