Something weird going on between Admin and DoD

OK, y'all probably saw that General Ham, Commander of US AFRICOM had been relieved of his command. AFRICOM includes the Persian Gulf area and Lybia.

Now Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette, Commander of the naval strike force that deployed 4 months early and arrived in the Arabian Sea Oct 17th has been relieved of command for "inappropriate leadership judgment".

Something is afoot.

It's called a "scapegoat".

One or the other is getting ready to throw them under the bus.....too bad everyone can see that the bus is being driven by the president. Unless the president has the appropriate paper trail proving he ordered them to act and they chose to disobey his order, Bengahzi (however it is spelled) is officially his tar-baby.

This is why the political had, Leon Panetta, was moved to SecDef. In Stalin's Russia they called it a "purge". Every dictator has "purged" the military of political opponents at the earliest opportunity. Then, once his people control all the government guns, he announces the banning of guns for civilians.

Most people are too stupid to see that though. Hell there are many gun boards that posts like these will get you scolded or a "time out"

Good to know there are still patriots out here.

The administration has people in the military, in leadership positions, that are more sympathetic to their agenda. The real patriots are just in the way.
