Allegations the Biden administration is “purging” the U.S. armed forces of patriotic officers are true and troubling, says a retired U.S. Army general whose name was included in a letter warning the United States is in “deep peril” because of Joe Biden’s mental decline and because the nation is drifting toward Communism and lawlessness.
In a radio interview on American Family Radio, retired army general Jerry Boykin confirmed Joe Biden is following in the steps of Barack Obama, whose Pentagon famously sacked nearly 200 officers during his two terms in the White House. But that ideology test weakens our country, he said, because newly promoted officers are not ready to fight a war.

I seem to recall Stalin purged most of his senior officers who wanted to build in depth defences and promoted those who advocated forward deployment to prep for launching their own attack. Millions died when the Nazis attacked and those who were captured were murdered when they returned after Germany's collapse.

Thanks.
DeleteOf course, this is a subject near and dear to my heart. I totally understand that in our society today we are dependent on others to tell us what is going on around us because it just isn't possible for everyone to personally be everywhere and witness it themselves. So this is not a criticism of anyone who believes this and other similar conspiracies. I can tell you for a fact, there was no "purge" in the military.
ReplyDelete1. The political leaders just don't care about each individual officer's promotion. In a military of over 2 million people, the system runs on statistical information, not on a by-name basis. So as long as enough of the right sexes, and skin colors are getting promoted, the system doesn't care which individuals make it to the top.
2. The system is unable to tell the difference between a strategic genius and a guy who just puts on a good show. Even in war, idiot generals can bumble along to victory due to factors that are outside their control and for the same reasons, great generals can be fired for failures that were beyond their control.
3. Military officers are inherently very liberal. They reflect the society they come from and from college educated people, that means liberal. Add to that a lifetime of service where they have dictatorial control over others to include government housing, medicine, child care, K-12 education of children, and even accounting for what you do on your time off and you see that communism is baked into the pie. So there is no need to ever purge anyone because the people who are there are already ideologically the "right" people.
4. In any group of 2 million people, there will be a constant stream of retirements, thousands every month. In each of those groups, there will be disgruntled people who disagree with the conditions of their retirements. Boo-Freaking-Hoo. That is life. The military doesn't need 2 million generals and admirals. So a whole bunch of people have to move along and find something else to do with their lives.
As I have mentioned here before, I am a retired military officer and worked in the Pentagon all throughout the Obama administration. There was no purge. There is no purge. If you ask any military officers if they fear a purge or see any signs of one on ideological basis they will tell you there is no sign of this going on.

Respectfully, if you spent 8 years in the Pentagon under Obama's regime, isn't there the possibility of sample bias? If I said I spent 8 years in Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and reported that everyone is pro-globalism (under the enlightened leadership of the Elite, of course) should people conclude that I saw a representative sample of the world at large?
So, was anything I said wrong? Would it have mattered if i said i enlisted in 1978, graduated from West Point, served all over the planet, 2 tours Iraq, one in Bosnia, AND 8 years during obama adminitration, and 4 years of Trump administration? Or do you just disagree with me in principle?
