President Obama has presided over the gutting of our military, the sidelining of our most qualified officers and their replacement by political toadies willing to toe the Obama lead from behind strategy into global decline.

President Obama has systematically replaced the leaders of the US military in highly classified positions:

Rear Adm. David Baucom / United States Navy

Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette/United States Navy

Rear Adm. Ron Horton / United States Navy

Rear Adm. Rick Wilson / United States Navy

Major General Ralph Baker /United States Army

General Carter Hamm / United States Army

Lieutenant General David Holmes Huntoon Jr / United States Army

Brigadier General Bryan Roberts / United States Army

Major General Charles M.M. Gurganus /United States Marine Corps

Major General Gregg A. Sturdevant / United States Marine Corps

General James Mattis, the head of Central Command, relieved without even a call to the general to let him know he was being replaced.

Two cases to make the point: Vice Admiral Tim Giardina, United States Navy – Deputy Commander of the United States Strategic Command. Commander of the Submarine Group Trident, Submarine Group 9 and Submarine Group 10, where every single one of the 18 Nuclear Submarines with Nuclear Trident Missiles of those three groups were in his command. He was removed from service and fired from the military for the charge of using counterfeit poker chips.

Major General Michael Carry, United States Air Force – Commander 20th Air Force in charge of 9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) at three operational wings and served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He was Fired October 11, 2013, for “Personal Misbehavior” is what was told to ABC News.

He and Giardina were both the two top Commanders over the United States Nuclear Arsenal before their dismissal within 48 hours of each other.

Sure, the guys in charge of America’s nuclear arsenal get the pink slip, but the people in charge over at the IRS get paid vacations for targeting conservatives and golden parachutes for taking the fifth to avoid self-incrimination. Look at the ongoing revelation of the corruption associated with the Clinton Crime Family; such as money laundering, perjury, misuse of classified documents, and destruction of evidence.  Hillary gets a pass while our heroes get the boot.

It looks like Obama is getting rid of all the people who had anything to do with Benghazi, had control over America’s nuclear weapons or is willing to call an Islamist terrorist an Islamist terrorist.

This reminds me of how Stalin purged the military of anyone who said Germany was planning on attacking the USSR.  Stalin didn’t want to hear that so he killed anyone who tried to tell him the obvious truth.  Then when the Germans invaded the Russians were woefully unprepared losing whole armies, millions of men and half their country before general winter stopped the onslaught.  Let us pray we will not face a similar fate in another 9-11 or worse.
