Is Obama replacing the brass with his left wing cronies?

2015-10-06T21:28:45-04:00

The civilian conservative and ex military circles are suggesting the top brass is being promoted /demoted due to their political alignment with left minded officers gaining positions that should have gone to more qualified conservative brass… im no longer in the military so do you active duty think this is happening or is it theory only?

SrA Art Siatkowsky I would say so, since he is in in his last two years of his presidency, he wants to surround himself with more liberals in my opinion.

I haven't a clue of what the President's motivations are. However, I find it instructive/interesting that his performance of the past six years has left us suspicious of them, that we could suspect him of placing his ideological interests above the needs of the nation's defense. That speaks volumes, doesn't it?

What circles? What is the difference between a left and right wing general; what are you even talking about really? You mean that service members that were vocal about their dislike for the CinC may not have been promoted? This is weird to you? How would he be able to tell if they are upholding the UCMJ? What examples does anybody have?

I haven't noticed it with the Generals specifically but then I really haven't seen their political views advertised in anyway. I know he is with the service secretaries though, there's no question about that.

If the Presudent is, than General "Fighting Joe" Dunford must be using some Boston "leprechaun" magic over him, because he is one of the best Marine leaders/military generals I have ever worked with, and is far from left wing.

SrA Art Siatkowsky Nonsense! In my 34 years of service I never heard of anyone relived or promoted because of thei personal politics and I don't believe it now. Take your political axe to grind elsewhere.

He was only what was good for the Military and besides he isn't the first President to do what he did.
