The Generals - Speak up and get fired

Subject: The Generals - Speak up and get fired

Dear Patriots (bcc herein w/permission to forward),

  I have the pleasure of forwarding y’all this communique from my BRO who got his hand shot off in Nam.

  Like many of OUR Boys who did the Grunt Work, they ALL know what’s going down in this Country.

  Too MANY have fought Political Wars since the 1950’s and they haven’t meant didily squat…..other than to make the War Machine Titans in this Country Bigger & Stronger who in turn have used their Blood Money to control the Bureaucrats in Washington who have the temerity of lying to us Daily while conspiring to create another Meaningless War that will only take another Loved One from Us so their Lofty Perches of Power can continue.

  They talk about ‘National Security’ and ‘why’ they’re doing what they’re doing but-  who is dying and who is Losing their Freedoms & Liberties in the process while an American ‘president’ and a variety of RepublicCons and Demoncrats play Tidily Winks at our expense?

  Hell, they won’t even Protect OUR borders and defer to their UN for direction.

  Constitution, Sovereignty- Y’all better start smell’en the coffee!

Still think’en WE Confederates Fought that War for a Single Reason?

Hell, don’t y’all think that 325,000 of Our Boys, of which 92% had NO involvement with Slavery, Didn’t fight It for the Same Reasons confronting them THEN that are confronting us TODAY?

They NO more wanted what Washington was selling THEN any more than any of YOU want it TODAY! NO DIFFERENCE!

It was just EASIER TO SEE IT ALL BACK THEN because y’all couldn’t ‘piss up their backs and tell them it was only raining out’ because they were more adept and hadn’t been dumbed down!

….and Common Sense & Logic was Alive and well and excuses for bullcrap were NOT tolerated! They knew the Difference between Good and Evil and God was still King!

Just ‘Connect the Dots’- just ‘Connect the Dots’…..

Craig Maus,

President, The Confederate Society of America

Subj: The Generals - Speak up and get fired

The signs have all been there …

How to ruin the mightiest Military in the World ...

Having been a pot-head at Punahou and probably in College (thus the sealed college records), having had someone in the Ivy League convince him that he was intelligent, albeit inexperienced, having never had to hold down a real job, having skated into one appointed position after another, the following article, although discouraging, is not surprising. This is not hateful and disrespectful. 

         It just is what it is !

The Generals -

Speak up and get Fired!

I think this just scratches the surface.

Very interesting article regarding the destruction of the Military high Command and a Commander-in-Chief who is clueless. It includes the Commandant...

The author's characterization of General Dempsey is harsh, biting and right on! He indirectly damns the rest of the Senior Officers and for good reason. The President or at least the people around him seem determined to destroy the character of our Military and best I can tell they are doing a very effective job of it.

The Generals

The threat of tyranny is no less today than it was in 1775........ Brenda B. Bowen

When you read this and see the type of individuals who have become and are becoming flag officers, you may have thoughts similar to these:

Has the apparent absence of personal integrity, ethics and ignorance of their oath all members of the DoD Military and Civilian are required to take in our Military leadership contributed to the current problems of soldier suicides, sexual harassment, and other growing misdeeds of our Military ? 

General Dempsey, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is without a doubt the most disgraceful person to ever fill that position.

Are we in trouble? Think about it!

During the Bush administration, there were only two American Commanders of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Under Obama, there have, so far, been five. There has been a new ISAF commander nearly every single year that Obama has been in office. The only exception is 2012, when Obama was too busy trying to win an election to bother further sabotaging a losing war.

The parade of musical chair Generals began when Obama demanded the resignation of General McKiernan. The Washington Post called the firing of a wartime Commander a "rare decision." It was the first time since the days of General Douglas MacArthur that a four-star Commanding General had been purged during a war.

The decision may have been rare, but it was not unexpected. General McKiernan was fired for the same offense that General McArthur had been targeted during the Korean War: He had demanded competency from an incompetent Democrat.

McKiernan had embarrassed Obama by demanding more troops to fight the war. The situation came to a head as General McKiernan pressed an indecisive Obama to make a decision. It was a devastating scene for an administration which had covered its pivot away from Iraq with concern trolling about winning in Afghanistan. The troops would be delivered, but McKiernan would pay the price.

General McKiernan's firing was put down to the need for fresh ideas. McKiernan was deemed too "old school" because he wanted to fight an old-fashioned war against the Taliban, while Obama Inc. believed that the war couldn't be won by beating the Taliban, but by winning the hearts and minds of Afghans. It was a fashionable and doomed strategy that required sacrificing the lives and limbs of thousands of American soldiers to political correctness.

The old-school General who had once said, "I don't understand ever putting your Men and Women in harm's way, without their having the full ability to protect themselves. That also means operating on actionable intelligence to defeat insurgents, and protect your forces. That's how you keep your soldiers alive," was clearly not the man for that job.

Replacing him as ISAF commander was General McChrystal. McChrystal was everything that McKiernan wasn't. He was hip fresh blood. He voted for Obama, listened to the right music and was a big fan of counterinsurgency. He hooked up with Greg Mortenson and handed out copies of Three Cups of Tea to his staff. The book proved to be a fraud and so did the COIN strategy for winning over the Afghans.

American soldiers were prevented from defending themselves to avoid offending the Afghans and the war was not moving forward. McChrystal claimed that he had presented a plan to Washington for defeating the Taliban, but Washington only wanted their capabilities degraded. The relationship between McChrystal and Obama also degraded, and McChrystal was fired over a negative Rolling Stone article that revealed that the ISAF commander held Obama and his cronies in contempt.

Urgently, Obama swapped out General McChrystal for General Petraeus, a former enemy now turned wartime ally. In only two years, Obama had gone through three generals and fired two wartime four-star Generals, setting a new record for mismanaging a War.

Petraeus's move from Central Command to Commanding the ISAF was unprecedented and did not last long. With the Taliban undefeated and the conflict shifting from a military war to a campaign of drone strikes and targeted assassinations, General Petraeus shifted over to the CIA to command the new fallback position of the War effort as Director Petraeus.

But a year later, Petraeus met the same fate as McKiernan and McChrystal after alienating the CIA top brass, which enmeshed him in a scandal. It did not help matters any that Republicans were salivating over the idea of a Petraeus candidacy in 2016.

Petraeus had been replaced by General Allen who became enmeshed in the same scandal, and the confirmation hearings of his replacement, General Dunford, were sped up. This month, Dunford has taken command of an ISAF in retreat as Afghanistan has become the new Iraq. And Dunford has become the fifth ISAF commander under Obama. Of his four predecessors, all have ended their careers under a cloud.

The War in Afghanistan has been lost and so have the careers of most of its commanders. Obama has constantly swapped out generals, and unlike the rotating allied ISAF commanders during the Bush era, many of them were fired because they threatened Obama politically in some way.

The record is an ugly one, but it is not limited to the war theater in Afghanistan. After the Benghazi disaster, General Carter Ham of AFRICOM was reportedly edged out after telling a Republican Congressman that he had not received any requests for support. His replacement, General Rodriguez, had earlier taken over part of McKiernan's job after Obama had forced him out.

More recently General Mattis, the Commander of United States Central Command, Petraeus's old job, was booted out without even a personal phone call for being too hawkish about Iran. The insult was unprecedented and the reason was the same. Like McKiernan and McChrystal, Mattis had offended important people in the Obama administration. And for that he paid the price.

General Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, exemplifies the costs of career survival in the age of Obama. Dempsey echoes everything that the civilians tell him. He never disagrees with them in public and likely not in private. Whatever new gimmick comes out of the White House, whether it's Green Energy or homosexuality, he's right there behind it and out in front of it.

Dempsey has no ideas of his own and he doesn't need any. He has nothing to bring to the table except a willingness to act as Obama's pet parrot in a uniform. When McChrystal first met Obama, he recalled thinking that Obama was "uncomfortable and intimidated" by the room full of military brass. That observation helped get McChrystal fired and these days it's the military brass that feels uncomfortable and intimidated by Obama Inc.
