The List of Purged Military High Officers Under Obama

DISTURBING: The List of Purged Military High Officers Under
Obama
This week, we published a story on a U.S. Army General calling for the resignation of Barack Obama and
other administration officials. Now, we have a very disturbing list of military high-ranking officers that have
been purged from the Obama administration.
[H/T Investment Watch Blog] — Look up the service records of some of these guys. MOST have perfect LONG
services, highly decorated.
I believe only 2 Generals were fired under Bush’s 2 terms
total. There are currently 48 4-Star Generals. [link to
en.wikipedia.org]
Many of these below have spotless records, 25 and up
years service, many medals and honors such as Brig. Gen
Bryan W. Wampler and Command Sgt. Major Don B.
Jordan.
Commanding Generals fired:
General John R. Allen-U.S. Marines Commander
International Security Assistance Force [ISAF] (Nov 2012)
Major General Ralph Baker (2 Star)-U.S. Army Commander of the Combined Joint Task Force Horn in
Africa (April 2013)
Major General Michael Carey (2 Star)-U.S. Air Force Commander of the 20th US Air Force in charge of
9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (Oct 2013)
Colonel James Christmas-U.S. Marines Commander 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit & Commander
Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response Unit (July 2013)
Major General Peter Fuller-U.S. Army Commander in Afghanistan (May 2011)
Major General Charles M.M. Gurganus-U.S. Marine Corps Regional Commander of SW and I Marine
Expeditionary Force in Afghanistan (Oct 2013)

Sounds just like the Clinton administration. Washington Democrats hate the military and everything it stands for.

I'll be interested to see how this dovetails into the Benghazi fiasco. If any of the relieved Officers had any first hand knowledge of how the requests and denial for military assistance went down that night and decides to write about it, well.... I will be interested to see how that goes down, especially if it all comes out when Mrs Clinton is running for office.

On another note, Obama relieved a CSM?......really?

One by One

This list is all over the internet including all majors who didn't make the cut and were passed over 3 times for promotion.

I randomly picked one and checked it out. In his case, he retired after 40 years. From the Washington Post:

Quote:
West Point superintendent misused his office, Pentagon report says
By Craig Whitlock,June 14, 2013

Pentagon investigators found that the three-star Army general in charge of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point misused his office by having subordinates perform personal tasks, but the results remained confidential until the eve of his retirement, according to newly released documents.

Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., the West Point superintendent, improperly made staffers work at private charity dinners, provide free driving lessons and feed a friend’s cats, according to a report by the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General.

The report was completed in May 2012, but the inspector general and the Army kept the results secret until Friday, when a heavily redacted version was released in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by The Washington Post and other news organizations. Huntoon is scheduled to retire July 17 after a 40-year military career.
I will be curious to see if "where there is smoke, there is fire" or if this is just what statistics can do. More googling...

Major General Michael Carey (2 Star)-U.S. Air Force Commander of the 20th US Air Force in charge of 9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (Oct 2013)
UPDATE:

Quote:
The Air Force general fired from command of U.S. land-based nuclear missile forces had engaged in "inappropriate behavior" while on official business in Russia last summer, including heavy drinking, rudeness to his hosts, and associating with "suspect" women, according to an investigation report.

The events that led to the dismissal took place while Maj. Gen. Michael Carey was in Russia in July as head of a U.S. government delegation to a nuclear security training exercise. At the time, he was commander of the 20th Air Force, responsible for all 450 of the Air Force's Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles stationed in five U.S. states.

When Carey was relieved of command in October, the Air Force said he had engaged in unspecified misbehavior while on a business trip, but it did not say the episode was in Russia, nor did it indicate the specific allegations against him.

<snip>

After he was relieved of duty in October, Carey was reassigned as special assistant to the commander of Air Force Space Command, where he has no responsibility for nuclear weapons. He remains in that post.

The Air Force has commented only once about the Carey case since his firing was announced Oct. 11. In mid-November, the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Mark Welsh, told a group of reporters that Carey had stumbled in a way that could not be tolerated, despite Carey's long career and his record of accomplishment.

Hmm.

Got drunk and stupid with women while in Russia.

Sounds like a typical elicitation set-up to me.

The good news is he is now highly qualified to be a member of Congress.

Nor has he buggered any male pages. I guess he could lie about his combat record or claim Indian ancestry (the woo-woo kind, not the dot-head kind).

Reminds me of the time by brother told me while he was going through medical school that he researched our geneology, and that we qualified for benefits for people with so and so amount of Indian blood.

I asked him why he didn't go ahead and do it, and he said because he was afraid if they checked our ancestry they'd find out we're Cajuns.

True story.

According to related articles, it was other members of that delegation to Russia who reported his behaviors to the DOD and they investigated it. There was also a USN boomer Cdr relieved over the same incident for the same reasons but wasn't reported with the proclaimed "purging" because he wasn't a GO.

Dumb @$$3$ behaving badly.
