Obama pushes military frustration to highest level in decades

Nothing new here if you're well informed.

Obama refuses to listen to his military advisers.

Obama has been purging the Officers Corps and replacing them with PC yes men.

Obama has no strategy except a radical leftist strategy.

Some excerpts.

Valerie Jarrett thinks she's the Secretary of Defense. (How did she even get a security clearance ? )

Key lawmakers from both parties say frustration with the White House among the top military officers is at its highest level in decades, the product of President Obama’s cautious approach to the wars in Syria and Iraq and an indecisive inner circle of White House advisers who, critics say, have iced the Pentagon out of the policymaking process.

Note: Valerie Jarrett is in charge of changing the culture, customs, traditions and the regulations of the U.S. military in the name of political correctness social engineering.

“All you have to do is look at a map of the Middle East in 2009 and then compare it to a map of today,”

The purging of the Officers Corps by Obama and Valerie Jarrett:

But the White House, he argued, has effectively blinded itself to such absurdities by promoting a system over the past seven years that suppresses dissenting voices. “Compliant and easily led military leaders get promoted,” he said. “People who have spoken truth to power get retired.”

He pointed to the cases of Marine Gen. James Mattis, reportedly dismissed as head of U.S. Central Command in 2013 for pressuring civilian officials in the White House on potential military options against Iran; and Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, allegedly pushed out as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency last year amid clashes with the White House over his leadership style.
