I will never understand why so many give the government the benefit of the doubt, especially this administration as it has shown that it can not be trusted.ABC news reported about the two Marine Generals in Afghanistan being relieved, their reason for doing so was vague and suspect.Stanley McChrystal did nothing wrong but made off the record comments talking about how the admin had no clue, and they don't.Fired he was, and promptly.Why? Not for failure to perform his duty, simply because he bruised very fragile egos in the admin.
David Petraeus? Sounds like admin put the NSA on him.Hacking of emails etc? Wonder why? Perhaps he had the balls to stand up to obama and his people.They can't just fire them, so they search for a way to discredit him.Weak one anyways, ooh he had an affrair, grow up.
The dismissal of the Admiral sounds highly suspect and even if he gambles, so what? Should not lose his career over it.
Yes, this is a purge.Perhaps not a Stalin take them out back and shoot them style purge but this is way purges happen in america right now.Find something to discredit them in the media, push them out.Wonder who is replacing them? Now doubt spineless butt kissing types.They probably fit the bill of "Captain Hanks" from Men of Honor, that is what comes to mind.Pencil Pushing yes men with no guts.
There are other less publicized dismissals but read it is 9 thus far.Yes, a purge and given they all made it so far in careers without any problems, awful suspect they are suddenly not up to standard.
