And Now Another Top Pentagon Official Has Just Spoken Out Strongly Against Obama Policy

...a second top general in as many days...

What’s going on in the top ranks of the U.S. military? Now that a second top general in as many days has expressed serious doubts about Obama administration policy, is some sort of concerted push-back developing in the Pentagon?
Just yesterday, Monday, Western Journalism brought you the news about a four-star Marine Corps general warning that weak border security and immigration enforcement could lead to a massive influx of Ebola-stricken immigrants.
Gen. John Kelly, head of the U.S. Southern Command, took the bold action of stepping up his public criticism of Obama administration policy.
Now, another highly decorated military leader is taking a powerful verbal shot at the White House.
The Army’s top general is questioning Obama’s plan to reduce the size of America’s ground-combat forces. Gen. Ray Odierno, the chief of staff of the Army, said Monday that the rise of Islamic State militants and Moscow’s moves in Eastern Europe demand a rethinking of plans for reduction in troop strength.

Via the Wall Street Journal:

The Army agreed – reluctantly — to cut the size of its force to 490,000 under the budget reductions originally approved in 2011. But as a result of subsequent White House-Congress spending battles and military budget reviews, Pentagon leaders said the Army has had to make plans to shrink even further, to 450,000 or even 420,000.

The active-duty Army now has 510,000 members, though military leaders under the direction of President Obama’s Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, are working to shrink the force by deactivating brigades and forcing out mid-level officers.
As Stars and Stripes reported in August:

About 550 Army majors, including some serving in Afghanistan, will soon be told they have to leave the service by next spring as part of a budget-driven downsizing of the service.
The decision to cut Army majors comes on the heels of a move to slash nearly 1,200 captains from the ranks. Army leaders were criticized at the time for giving 48 of them the bad news while they were deployed to Afghanistan.

In January, 2012, Obama announced that he U.S. military will steadily shrink the Army and Marine Corps and reduce forces in Europe. Curiously, it is now top generals in both the Army and the Marine Corps who are publicly questioning the plans and policies of their Command-in-Chief.

SECOND Top General Breaks Rank To Strongly Criticize Obama

Earlier this month, a highly decorated Four Star General in the Marine Corps broke rank to speak out against Obama’s lax border policies, which allow illegals to flood into America. Now, it’s being reported that yet another top general in the military has come out to criticize Obama, but on a completely separate issue.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said Obama’s planned downsizing of the Army could pose security threats to America as the Islamic State is rapidly growing in size and Moscow is making advances across Eastern Europe.
“The world is changing in front of us. We have seen Russian aggression in Europe, we have seen ISIS, we have seen increased stability in other places,” Gen. Odierno said. “So I now have concern whether even going below 490,000 is the right thing to do or not, because of what I see potentially on the horizon.”
BOOM! Straight from someone who knows a thing or two about threats to our national security. He added that the Army is basically being choked out of its funding to be able to fight the proposed downsizing and repeated early calls for Congress to repeal mandated reductions.
Unfortunately, his efforts will probably be in vain, as the Obama administration has already started forcing out mid-level officers and deactivating entire brigades. He’s set to step down in 2015, but he said that under Obama’s revised strategy for the military, which includes sending forces to hot spots to prevent conflict, future leaders may be forced to deploy units that aren’t fully prepared.
“I swore that I would never send soldiers into a place not properly prepared, trained or equipped,” he said. “I will probably get away with that because I will leave … by the beginning of the next year. But I worry for the next chief.”
Gen. Odierno’s comments come on the heels of Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, head of the U.S. Southern Command, criticizing the lax border security and warning it could lead to a flood of Ebola-infected illegals into America.
Speaking to the National Defense University, Kelly stated that if people start fleeing Central and South American nations after an outbreak, it could cause “mass migration into the United States” of people seeking treatment, and our Southern border isn’t prepared for it.
“If it breaks out,” he said. “It’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door.’”
It’s no secret that our military commanders aren’t fans of the President, but to have them speak out in such a way shows their current level of frustration with the sheer incompetence in the White House. Unfortunately, instead of taking notice, Obama will likely force them out and replace them with those who’ll follow his orders, as we’ve seen in the past.
Do you think our military leaders are right?
