The commander for the largest U.S.
military base in Japan was fired on
Friday. Col. Eric Tilley was relieved
for “lack of confidence” after an
inquiry into alleged misbehavior
related to gambling, according to a
press statement.
Details surrounding his firing are
scarce. U.S. Army Japan spokesman
Maj. Kevin Toner told Stars and
Stripes via e-mail that “it would be
inappropriate to make public the
allegations because the investigation
did not lead to findings of criminal
misconduct.”
Normally a dismissal of a colonel
would not make such big headlines,
but Colonel Tilley’s release comes at
a time when the Obama
administration is accused of
systematically removing officers that
are unsympathetic with its agenda.
So far this year, nine generals and
flag officers have been terminated by
the Obama administration. World Net
Daily calls this an “extraordinary
number.” The site reports that over
the past five years, close to 200
high-ranking officers have been fired
—some under very suspicious
circumstances.
Several of the high-ranking officers
dismissed were vocal critics of
President Obama’s policies. “There is
no doubt he (Obama) is intent on
emasculating the military and will fire
anyone who disagrees with him” over
such issues as “homosexuals, women
in foxholes, the Obama sequester,”
retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady
told WND.
Another source told the news agency,
“They are purging everyone, and if
you want to keep your job, just keep
your mouth shut.” WND continues:
Retired Army Lt. Gen. William G.
“Jerry” Boykin, who was a founding
member of Delta Force and later
deputy undersecretary of defense for
intelligence under President George
W. Bush, says it is worrying that
four-star generals are being retired at
the rate that has occurred under
Obama.
“Over the past three years, it is
unprecedented for the number of
four-star generals to be relieved of
duty, and not necessarily relieved for
cause,” Boykin said.
“I believe there is a purging of the
military,” he said. “The problem is
worse than we have ever seen.”
Three of the nine high ranking
officers were fired after either
criticizing what happened at
Benghazi or giving testimony that
contradicted the official White House
account.
Three of the top commanders in the
region at the time of the Benghazi
attack have been dismissed: U.S.
Army Gen. Carter Ham, who headed
the United States African Command;
Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette,
commander of the aircraft carriers in
the Mediterranean Sea; and Major
General Baker, who commanded the
Joint Task Force-Horn in Djibouti,
Africa.
Several of the other six generals and
flag officers fired were allegedly
critical of other Obama policies such
as military cuts, the removal of Don’t
Ask Don’t Tell, and America’s new
policy on Iran. Others were allegedly
fired for sexual misconduct, or
adultery—dismissal for which has
become increasingly rare since
President Bill Clinton’s affair.
What angers many observers even
more is that while so many of
America’s military leaders are being
fired, the Obama administration has
failed to hold a single Obama
administration official accountable for
a string of scandals: the Benghazi
cover-up; the Fast and Furious
scandal; the FBI admitting it uses
surveillance drones over U.S. soil;
the Justice Department secretly
seizing the records of more than 20
Associated Press phone lines in what
was called a “massive and
unprecedented intrusion”; the Justice
Department illegally monitoring the
phone lines and e-mails of Fox News
reporter James Rosen; the National
Security Agency conducting illegal,
covert surveillance programs that
violate the Fourth Amendment,
keeping phone and Internet records of
millions of Americans with the full
cooperation of nine major Internet
companies, or spying on America’s
allies—supposedly without the
president’s knowledge.
And in light of revelations that the
IRS was used to target President
Obama’s political adversaries, it adds
a lot of credence to the charges that
a military purge is occurring.
The atmosphere within the senior
ranks is becoming so bad that Major
General Brady says members no
longer feel prepared to fight or have
the desire to win.
The National Journal reported
November 1 that low moral isn’t the
only problem. Resentment is so high
that some members have reportedly
considered trying to “ take out the
President” and stage a coup.
Something deadly dangerous is
happening in America.
The Obama administration is showing
itself extremely intolerant of dissent.
And the president has made it clear
that he will use the full force of
government to attack opposition
groups that defy his agenda. The
military is just the latest victim.
