(Before It's News)

  4 Star General StanleyAllen McChrystal;After more than three decades of dedicated service, working his way all the way up the military latter to rank of a 4 star general, he suddenly decided in an interview to say something inappropriate about the Commander in Chief. Why? For attention? Would someone really throw away all that hard work and dedication for attention? Or could it have been a psychiatric reaction to watching men and women under his command needlessly slaughtered because of poor leadership?

 
4 Star General Carter Ham; General Ham by all accounts is a fine upstanding and competent leader. On March 8, 2011, General Ham assumed command of AfriCom. The Central Command on the African Continent. On September 11 2012 General Ham received distress calls coming from Libya at the Consulate in Benghazi. Reports allege that General Ham scrambled a rapid response team and air assets to assist the US personnel on the ground in Benghazi and just before or soon after take off, General Ham was apprehended and relieved of his command. Of course it was reported that he was not detained, and the relief of command had been scheduled. Yet his command of this post just happened to be 1 and half years shorter than the traditional average.

 

Colonel Harry D Tunnell; A well educated Colonel in the US Army. Iraq war vet and was tasked with creating a new type of unit known as a Stryker team. Strykers are an eight wheeled vehicle armored used to transport troops and deemed useless in Afghanistan but were deployed anyways. After less than a year training and readying this newly formed unit, they were deployed to Iraq, but the day before this was changed to Afghanistan. After following an order from a Belgium General to go in and secure an area in the Kandahar Province, 22 soldiers were slaughtered due entirely to poor NATO intelligence that claimed the area had between 25-40 enemy combatants. It turned out be closer to 300. After this, Col Tunnell wrote an eye popping letter to the Secretary of the Army who informed him prior to the deployment that there would be an “Open Door Policy”. After this letter that points to issues such as leading from behind, poor intelligence, NATO given priority when it comes to air support and US technology, and an unreliable Afghan force, he was reprimanded, a smear campaign ensued, he was accused of war atrocities and his career is effectively over.  Read this letter here: http://www.michaelyon-online.com/stunning-letter-infantry-colonel-communique-to-secretary-of-the-army.htm

4 Star General William E. “Kip” Ward; Is retired. He was the AfriCom commander prior to General Ham. He after giving an interview that was less than flattering to the current administration was accused of misusing funds for “lavish trips” throughout Africa totaling $80,000.00. He was, after retirement, demoted to a 3 Star General by Leon Panetta causing his retirement pay to retroactively be decrease.

 

4 Star General John Allen:Appointed to his position by President Obama, I’m not yet sure what he did to get caught in this mess. Maybe he is just collateral damage, who knows.

And of course, 4 Star General and CIA Director David Petraus:We may never find out what he did, but we all know it had to do with Benghazi. I believe he supported sending in support for those men under attack in Libya. And he was over ruled by someone who could not provide the President with ample plausible deniability. However the hearing this wee is supposed to be classified, and by resigning, Petraeus no longer holds his clearance. But we will see.

 

Why are these men important?

These are just the impeccable leaders whose careers and reputations have all been eviscerated under Barack Hussein Obama’s tenure that we know about. Why would there suddenly be so many high level officers suddenly coming out and jeopardizing their careers, in some of these cases, never having a single black mark on their records?

 

We can all remember North Carolina Governor Bev Purdue (D) stating in 2010, “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover.”  So is it really all that ridiculous to think that facing no more chances for reelection that President Obama may try to find a way to cling to his power?

 

We assume because so far they have, that elections will always be there. But many can see the shift in our country, the shift towards a less Democratic, less Representative Republic version of our Nation. The calls to silence the opposition. The inability to negotiate or even be in the same room with each other. So if a POTUS were to “Suspend Elections” and claim it for the good of the Country, why is this such an outsider thought? He would obviously have back up from the media out there, and there are plenty of voters who believe the man is infallible.

 

Well, it’s become known that these brave leaders of men would never turn their military power on their own countrymen. And as we all know, that just won’t work for a dictator. In the Congressional District formerly held by Retired Col Allen West, voter turnout last week reached 141.1%. Yes, more people voted than were even registered to vote. If elections are this corrupt, why bother having them? And there is no guarantee that elections will continue in the future.
