This strange
chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even
Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th,
Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year. This
doesn’t include the long list last year, this is just the nine individuals this
year alone.
General
Carter Hamm, United States Army-Served as head of the United States African
Command. Was in charge of the US African command during the fateful night of
September 11, 2012 when the lives of four American citizens was taken in the
Embassy in Benghazi . Hamm was extremely critical of our Commander and Chief
and stated he lied about not having reinforcements in the area on that night.
Hamm “resigned and retired” on April of 2013.
Rear
Admiral Charles Gaouette/ United States Navy-Commander of Carrier Strike Group
Three. His most recent activity served as Deputy Commander of the US Naval
Forces, US Central Command. He was in charge of Air Craft Carriers in the
Mediterranean Sea the night of September 11, 2012. He testified before the
hearing committee and said that there may not have been time to get the flight
crews there but left the door open on if told when the events took place if
that he could have had the aircraft launched upon cross-examination by Rep.
Tray Gowdey. Recently fired from the Administrative post and relieved of Duty
by the Obama Administration for “utterance of a racial slur”.
Major
General Ralph Baker, United States Army- Major General Baker served as the
Commander of the Joint Task Force-Horn at Camp Lamar , Djibouti , Africa . Was
also involved in some aspect with the incident September 11, 2012, being under
the African Command. Had said he believed attack helicopters could have made it
in time. Relieved of command and fired for groping a civilian (no assault
charges or sexual misconduct charges filed with JAG)
Brigadier
General Bryan Roberts, United States Army-General Roberts took command of Fort
Jackson in 2011. Was considered a rising star in his field. He served in Iraq
during his service as the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team,
and was the Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Recruiting
Command, Fort Knox , KY. Relieved of Duty and Fired for Adultery. While this is
still on the books in the United States Code of Military Justice, it has rarely
been used since President Bill Clinton’s indiscretions.
Major
General Gregg A. Sturdevant, United States Marine Corps-Director of Strategic
Planning and Policy of for the United States Pacific Command and Commander of
the aviation wing at Camp Bastion , Afghanistan . Highly decorated soldier with
two Naval and Marine Commendations and two Naval and Marine Good Conduct
medals. He also has an Air Medal with a gold star. He served honorably and
distinctively. He had asked about supplies to his command. He was one of two
commanding officers suddenly relieved of command and fired from the military
for failure of proper force protection.
Major
General Charles M.M. Gurganus, United States Marine Corps- Regional Commander
in the Southwest and I Marine Expeditionary Force (a forward or frontal
division) in Afghanistan. Also Highly decorated with a Defense Superior Service
Medal, two Legion of Merritt w/Valor, and three Meritorious Service
Commendations. Major General C.M.M.Gurganus had questioned the use of
Afghanistan patrols along side American patrols after two officers were
executed at their desk and a platoon was lead into an ambush on the front
lines. Was the other commander relieved of duty for failure of proper force
protection.
Lieutenant
General David Holmes Huntoon Jr, United States Army-Served as the 58th
Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He had
graduated from the same academy in 1973 and had served in Senior Planning and
Education Services through the majority of his career. He was “censored” for
“an investigation” into an “improper relationship” according to The Department of Defense.
Nothing was released to the nature of the improper relationship. Nothing was
even mentioned if an actual investigation even took place.
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. This
commander earned six Legions of Merit, Two Meritorious Service Medals, two
Joint Service Commendation Medals, and several other medals, ribbons and
decorations in his illustrious career. He was removed from service and fired
from the military for the charge of using counterfeit poker chips (not making
that up).
Last
on the list, 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.
As
ABC News reports, this is an extremely alarming rate and one of the biggest and
fastest purges of military personnel ever recorded. It apparently is such a
shock at the rate even for a long time veteran of reporting the news as Dianne
Sawyer, because at one point she gets heated saying of two Commanders of the
Nuclear Command:
You
don’t put people who are not very intelligent and without a squeaky clean
record over that area of the Military. It is enough to make the hardest and
staunchest of supporters as the ABC news crew to pause and ask themselves,
“what step is he (Obama) planning?”

For those that are infuriated why the president is not run
out of town on a rail, what follows is what is today called news. It is blatant MSM apologist for Obama.

By Jim DeMint
Five years and President Obama still
refuses to assume responsibility for his woeful economic record. The buck stops with Republicans, other countries, changes in the
weather, etc.—anywhere but the Oval Office. Of course, it’s not new
having a chief executive who refuses to admit failure. What is rare is having a news
media that does not hold the President accountable.
So let’s establish the record. At
2.2 percent annual growth, we are now witnessing the slowest economic recovery
in generations. Even the Council on Foreign Relations says “the
economic expansion following the 2008 recession has been the weakest of the
post-World War II era.” This is true across a number of fronts:
economic growth, housing prices, industrial production and capacity, etc.

Have no
fear, America: President Obama feels for you as cancellation notices land in
the hands of millions. And unlike the
health insurance you may have lost, he’s got you covered.
The
president held a news conference Thursday addressing the issues surrounding the
Affordable Care Act and the millions of Americans who have received
cancellation notices from their insurance companies. Obama announced he would
allow insurance companies to continue offering current plans that otherwise
would be terminated under Obamacare for at least another year, but also offered
up his fair share of analogies surrounding the law’s failed rollout.
While
Obama punted on several metaphors he used prior to the law’s implementation —
it would be just like buying a plane ticket on Kayak or a television on Amazon,
he said several months ago — he kicked around some other imagery and had some …
interesting … realizations.

UnitedHealth
Group has dropped thousands of doctors from its networks in recent weeks,
leaving many elderly patients unsure whether they need to switch plans to
continue seeing their doctors, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
The insurer said in October that underfunding of Medicare Advantage plans for
the elderly could not be fully offset by the company's other healthcare
business. The company also reported
spending more healthcare premiums on medical claims in the third quarter, due
mainly to government cuts to payments for Medicare Advantage services.
"Medicare Advantage, an alternative to traditional Medicare, combines hospital and doctor coverage and often includes prescription drugs and perks like gym memberships," the Journal explained. "Enrollment has more than doubled since 2004 to 13 million in 2012, which represents about 27 percent of Americans on Medicare.
