US Military Commanders Unfit to Command
Yep I said it, well not first of course
Could it be that US Military Commanders
are losing their taste for war??
In the past 2 yrs of this war on terrorism
there have been many US Military Commanders
relieved of their commands on the basis due to
being unfit to command or there was no reason given.
This is not in one branch of the military but in ALL branches
of the US Military. From the outside it might appear
that the taste for war has subsided with the relieved
command. Some are even being given commands
back stateside out of the war zone. Or could there be
more ethic reasons for relieving a commander
from duty.
The Navy spouts
they have fired 6 commanders since January 1, 2010.
Which is triple the norm. While some of those have
legitimate reasons for dismissal, not all of them do
and some even have no reason at all.

This also is echoed in the Air Force:

and even in the Coast Guard

while most of these are relieved due to tight-lipped
reasoning citing a loss of confidence or unfit to command,
there may be a mental ethic reasoning behind it all.
They may not want to fight this war anymore
or even feel it is an illegal war and avoid completing
those orders given. Or it may even be PTSD. They might even
have reservations about their Commander in Chief
is even their Commander in Chief (Birth Certificate,
fraudulent voting machines). Then we have an Arny
Lt. Col. refusing to go back to Afghanistan citing
that Obama is illegitimate.
While relieving commanders is nothing new to all branches
of the military, what is alarming is the rate at which
they are occurring now. Even soldiers finding any reason
whatsoever to either leave the battlezone or
not even deploy.
I can only speculate as to each commander but the trends
are much higher now after an 8 yr war on terrorism.
This means that not only is stress of war getting to
the individual soldiers, but to their commanders as well.
