New Litmus Test for Generals --Scary if true

Post by VMI77 »

Garrow was nominated three years ago for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize and is the founder of The Pink Pagoda Girls, an organization dedicated to rescuing baby girls from “gendercide” in China. Garrow has been personally involved in “helping rescue more than 36,000 Chinese baby girls from death.” He is a public figure, not an anonymous voice on the Internet, which makes his claim all the more disturbing.

I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new "litmus test" in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. "The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not". Those who will not are being removed.

I had heard this too. If it is true it is terrifying.

Like the majority of the comments on that post I would like some hard evidence rather than an anonymous "military hero" saying it's so.

I have little doubt of what the President may be up to or what he may do. I still would like verification above a Facebook post.

If this is true, gird up folks. It's coming. We truly need divine intervention.

...although in the current environment I would not rule out provacateuring.

Terrifying to some. Not much of a surprise. Evil has many forms but all of the forms have pretty much the same end result.

I seriously doubt he will have a difficult time finding candidates that pass his requirement.

The General is at the top of a Division/Corps
Colonel in charge of a Brigade
Lt.Colonel for a Battalion
Captain for a company
2lt for a Platoon

The General may give the orders, but the Jr.Officers do the fighting. The order has to be legal and every Officer will determine if THEY think it is legal. Most Military come from working class homes and they are big gun owners. The troops might not follow where they are led.

Me too, I'd like to hear one or more generals come out and make a public statement. I posted this for three reasons: 1) the guy making the claim is a public figure who appears to do good things and hob knobs among the "elite," 2) the claim is consistent with recent events and the behavior of this administration. They even trotted out David Axelrod for the inauguration --the guy who back in the 70s wanted to exterminate 25 million Americans; and 3) this is a question you don't need to ask unless your plans require an answer.

I have said before that nothing this administration does, plans, or attempts surprises me.

Nothing. I give some credence to any rumor or suspicion including involvement in the Sandy Hook incident. My suspicion does not go so far that I think they planned or executed it but they are involved deeply in some detail coverup and bending of facts, I mean perpetrating lies.

Over a billion rounds of ammo purchased by DHS. Massive amounts of ammo being purchased by other federal agencies. DHS soliciting vendors for select fire "personal defense" rifles. etc. etc.

Hard evidence would be nice, but right now we've got some of circumstantial evidence that something is seriously wacky.

EDIT: to fix links.

Don't have time to look for a link, but the P.O.s are out there as well as the contract with the vendor(s). I believe the primary is a new company formed specifically for the purposes of supplying DHS and other agencies of other departments, which smacks of crony capitalism/political payoff. Anyone got time to research this? I will try to get some links together tonight if no one beats me to it.

Don't forget that Robert E. Lee was a US Military Officer during the start of the last "War of Northern Aggression". He was offered command of the forces that were going to march through Virginia (his home state). He left and joined the Confederates. He would not fight his own people. (I know that war didn't turn out too good for him and a lot of others)

That has been my suspicion --a crony payoff. Same thing with government purchases of things like coffins that created lots of internet speculation a few years ago. The government is now so corrupt it has gotten hard to separate the usual old back scratching and political payoffs from things that might truly be nefarious.
