First of all - the guy has a gambling PROBLEM. Given both his post (as the #2 nuke guy) and his access to sensitive information, he presents a significant risk to national security. The "timing" is he got busted and the problem came to light.

Next your claim of "what yes man are they replacing him with" - shows you don't have a clear idea of how the military works. Unlike cabinet position, judgeships, diplomatic positions, etc - the administration doesn't appoint people to specific positions inside the military (with the exception of the JCS). For example, someone without the background can't just "run" the Naval Nuke program....

Thirdly - where are your sources? Are you sure it was 9 "flag" rank officers? Maybe it was 20. Or 50? You state something and expect people to accept it as truth - without documentation. That isn't how it works - and you know it.

Finally a series of questions has to be answered. How many senior level military officers have retired/resigned/been forced out during the Obama administration? How does that compare to the same number of years of the Bush Administration, or the Clinton or Reagan comparable years?

Until you offer an apples at apples comparison WITH documentation to back up your argument - its hard to take you seriously. Given my own negative view of the current administration, it is easy to just "latch on" and condemn - but to do so is irresponsible. Show me the documentation.

Otherwise you could just claim Obama is really an illegal alien - as in from Proxima Centauri who landed here and is paving the way for the aliens to invade the planet. He has gutted NASA and stopped our shuttle program and its replacement because if launching like we used to - we would see the alien battle fleet and could prepare. He has ordered all the national parks closed because everyone knows that to see into space you do better to get away from civilization - and by keeping people out of the parks he keeps them from setting up telescopes and seeing the alien menace. He isn't worried about his "legacy" because he knows the alien overlords will just eat us all anyway. Obamacare is nothing more than a way for the aliens to have access to everyone's medical records so that they can determine which people they want to cultivate DNA from for cloning slave labor, food and breeding. The NSA spying on citizens is really nothing more than the aliens making sure that if they are discovered, they can pinpoint whoever knows and get them before the information spreads. That is why they had to infiltrate all the google and yahoo and facebook servers.

See - without documentation - one could claim anything......
