Making the Rounds of the Well-informed - a message from El Zorro

MAKE SURE YOU READ WHAT THE RETIRED OFFICERS HAD TO SAY
he picture is of the five first line US nuclear carriers docked together in one place, Just like Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor,
 December 7, 1941.
This picture was taken February 2014 in Norfolk, Virginia.
Obama ordered 5 nuclear carriers into harbor for "routine" (?) inspections.  Heads of the Navy were flabbergasted by

 the directive but had to comply as it was a direct order from
 their Commander-in-Chief.

The carriers were all pulled out from the MIDDLE EAST and the Afghanistan support role leaving our land forces naked and exposed!

NORFOLK, VA. (February 8, 2014). This is the first time since WWII that five
nuclear powered aircraft carriers were docked together. USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) are all in port at Naval Station Norfolk , Va. , the world's largest naval station.

Knowledgeable sources stated that this breached a long standing military
protocol in the Navy meant to avoid a massive
enemy strike on major US
forces.

Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking military
officers have been removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely
unprecedented.

Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly
speaking out about the 'purge' of the U.S. military that they believe is
taking place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military
leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years.

So why is this happening? What is going on right now is absolutely crazy
especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to reshape
the military and remove those who don't adhere to the proper 'viewpoints' ?
Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won't cooperate out
of the way?

Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a military purge is
never good.

Perhaps you are reading this and you think that 'purge' is too strong a word
for what is taking place. Well, just consider the following quotes from some
very highly decorated retired officers:

 -Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely: The White House protects their
> own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious,
> Benghazi and Obamacare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our
> military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the
> ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.

Retired -Army Major General Patrick Brady: There is no doubt he (Obama) is
intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with
him.

> -Retired Army Lt. General William G. Jerry Boykin: 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.

> -Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: I believe there are more than 137
> officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they
> will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to
> certain views.

A Pentagon official who asked to remain nameless because he was not
authorized to speak on the matter said even young officers, down through the
ranks have been told not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White
House. They are purging everyone and if you want to keep your job just keep
your mouth shut. Now this trend appears to be accelerating.

General Vallely's comment:
> Absolutely every communist regime on the planet did this as soon as they
> got in power.
