http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/list-of-purged-military-high-officers-terrifying
its a "list" of all these poor little generals being purged by the mean debbil Obama, comparing him to Stalin and shit.
my response;
be careful believing utter bullshit. the first name on the list I googled;
On February 10, 2013, Allen relinquished command of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) to General Dunford.[20]
On February 19, 2013, U.S. President Obama accepted Allen's request to retire from the military as his wife fell seriously ill.[2]
On April 29, 2013, Allen's official retirement ceremony was held in United States Naval Academy.[21]
Here's the second;
An Army major general with U.S. Africa Command has been relieved of his post in connection with alcohol and sexual misconduct charges, defense officials said Thursday.
Third:

(CNN) -- A U.S. general who oversaw nuclear weapons boozed, fraternized with "hot women" and disrespected his hosts during an official visit to Russia this year, an investigative report shows.
fourth:

Col. James Christmas was relieved of command by Maj. Gen. Raymond Fox, the commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., after the general lost confidence in Christmas ability to continue commanding the Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU, said Capt. Binford Strickland, a Marine spokesman.
fifth:
The NATO and American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John R. Allen, announced in a news release on Saturday that he was dismissing Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, the deputy commander for programs at the NATO training mission in Afghanistan, effective immediately. The decision follows recent inappropriate public comments made by Major General Fuller, General Allen said.
I won't bother debunking all the others. just realize these types of articles are poorly constructed lies which a short google search will prove...
and "relieved of command" <> getting drummed out of the service.
before posting wild accusation from RW hit smears, do your research. only took me a few minutes to find out the article was full of shit.
his response:
Way to go XXX, now we should dismiss the commander and chief for his lies and misconduct. Then clean house of the rest of the lying BS trash in Washington and we'll be on the road to recovery from the worst leadership this country has EVER had to endure!
my response:
so matter if I point out the article you posted is one giant lie, you just double down on it? ROFL
his response: The article was flawed, incorrect, I stand by my last statement though!
you can't ever change these people's minds...
