    Another top military commander has been given his marching orders

    Unbridled Truth Cannot Be Silenced


    We have some very disturbing news to report - another top military commander has been given his marching orders, making him the 10th officer relieved of command this year for what some would say are bogus reasons.

    Colonel Eric Tilley, now former commander of the U.S. Army Garrison Japan, was relieved of command after a recent investigation. The reason cited was “lack of confidence.” Suspended by Major General James Boozer commander of U.S. Army Japan and I Corps, Col. Till...Continue Reading

    We have some very disturbing news to report - another top military commander has been given his marching orders, making him the 10th officer relieved of command this year for what some would say are bogus reasons.

    Colonel Eric Tilley, now former commander of the U.S. Army Garrison Japan, was relieved of command after a recent investigation. The reason cited was “lack of confidence.” Suspended by Major General James Boozer commander of U.S. Army Japan and I Corps, Col. Tilley was replaced by Colonel Joy Curriera, according to report by Stars and Stripes.

    A spokesman for U.S. Army Japan, Maj. Kevin Toner told Stars and Stripes that he couldn't comment publicly about what led to the dismissal, "because the investigation did not lead to findings of criminal misconduct."

    Almost 200 senior military officers have been purged since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, for a variety of reasons, but sometimes no reason was given.

    According to Investors Business Daily, "What has happened to our officer corps since President Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security posture."

    U.S. Army Gen. Carter Ham, who commanded U.S. African Command when the consulate was attacked and four Americans were killed, was highly critical of the decision by the State Department not to send in reinforcements. Obama has insisted there were no reinforcements available that night.

    But Ham contends reinforcements could have been sent in time, and he said he never was given a stand-down order. However, others contend that he was given the order but defied it. He ultimately was relieved of his command and retired.

    Now, new information in the Washington Times reveals there were Delta Force personnel in Tripoli at the time of the attack and two members volunteered to be dispatched to Benghazi to assist in protecting the Benghazi compound, contrary to stand-down orders from the State Department.

    Another flag officer involved in the Benghazi matter – which remains under congressional investigation – was Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette. He commanded the Carrier Strike Group. He contends aircraft could have been sent to Libya in time to help the Americans under fire. He later was removed from his post for alleged profanity and making “racially insensitive comments.”

    Army Major Gen. Ralph Baker was the commander of the Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa at Camp Lemonier in Djibouti, Africa. Baker contended that attack helicopters could have reached the consulate in time on the night of the attack.

    Retired Army Gen. Paul Vallely said on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV last Tuesday that Obama is trying to make the military more politically correct.

    "For example, we had an Air Force sergeant that was relieved of his duty by a squadron commander who was a woman — she's a lesbian — and he did not believe in same-sex marriages, so he was relieved by her," Vallely said.

    He also believes that Obama is "intentionally weakening and gutting our military and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged."

    Here's the list of officers relieved this year. Add Col. Tilley to the nearly *200* relieved since King DingleBarry took the reigns of power.

    Gen. Carter Ham, Army

    Served as head of the United States African Command during the bloodshed in Benghazi, Libya when four American citizens, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens and two retired Navy Seals, were murdered by militants on Sept. 11, 2012. Senior military officials told TheBlaze Hamm was extremely critical of the Obama administration, including when reinforcements were not sent to help the U.S. citizens under attack in Benghazi. Hamm “resigned and retired” in April 2013.

    Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette, Navy

    Commander of Carrier Strike Group Three. He recently served as deputy commander of the U.S. Naval Forces, U.S. Central Command. He was in charge of Air Craft Carriers in the Mediterranean Sea the night of the Benghazi assault on Sept. 11, 2012. Under testimony, he told Congress there may not have been time to get the flight crews to Benghazi, but left the door open when he told Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) under cross-examination that he could have launched aircraft to the destination. He was later accused of using profanity in a public setting and making at least two racially insensitive comments. While he was cleared of any criminal violations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, he still faced administrative penalties that have ended his career.

    Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker, Army

    Major General Baker served as commander of the Joint Task Force-Horn at Camp Lamar in Djibouti, Africa. According to several military officials who spoke to TheBlaze, he was also involved in some aspect with the Benghazi incident Sept. 11, 2012. He was relieved of command and fired for allegedly groping a civilian, but no assault charges or sexual misconduct charges were filed with military JAG officials.

    Brigadier Gen. Bryan Roberts, Army

    General Roberts took command of Fort Jackson in 2011. He was considered a rising star in his field and served in Iraq during his service as the commanding officer of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team. He was the deputy commanding general of the United States Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Ky. He was relieved of duty and fired for adultery — still on the books in the United States Code of Military Justice but rarely since President Bill Clinton’s indiscretions.

    Maj. Gen. Gregg A. Sturdevant, Marine Corps

    Director of Strategic Planning and Policy for the U.S. Pacific Command and commander of the aviation wing at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. He was a highly-decorated Marine with two Naval and Marine Commendations, two Naval and Marine Good Conduct medals, as well as the Air Medal with a gold star. He was one of two commanding officers suddenly relieved of command and fired from the military for failure to use proper force protection at the camp after 15 Taliban fighters attacked Camp Bastion on Sept. 14, 2012, resulting in the deaths of Lt. Col. Christopher K. Raible, 40, and Sgt. Bradley W. Atwell, 27.

    Maj. Gen. Charles M.M. Gurganus, Marine Corps

    Regional commander in the Southwest and I Marine Expeditionary Force in Afghanistan. Highly decorated with a Defense Superior Service Medal, two Legion of Merit with Valor, and three Meritorious Service Commendations. According to several military officials, Gurganus questioned having to use Afghan security patrols alongside American patrols after two officers were executed at their desk and a platoon was lead into an ambush on the front lines.

    Lt. Gen. David Holmes Huntoon Jr, Army

    Served as the 58th Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. He graduated from the same academy in 1973 and had served in Senior Planning and Education Services through the majority of his career. He was “censored” for “an investigation” into an “improper relationship” according to the Department of Defense. Nothing was released to the nature of the improper relationship. Nothing was even mentioned if an actual investigation even took place.

    Vice Adm. Tim Giardina, Navy

    Deputy Commander of the United States Strategic Command. He was commander of the Submarine Group Trident, Submarine Group 9 and Submarine Group 10, where every single one of the 18 Nuclear Submarines with Nuclear Trident Missiles of those three groups were in his command. This commander earned six Legions of Merit, Two Meritorious Service Medals, two Joint Service Commendation Medals, and several other medals and ribbons. He is under criminal investigation for the alleged use of counterfeit gambling chips, while playing a poker game at a western Iowa casino.

    Major Gen. Michael Carey, Air Force

    Commander 20th Air Force in charge of 9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles at three operational wings and served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Carry was fired October 11, 2013, for “personal misbehavior,” according to ABC News. Pentagon and Air Force senior officials have remained relatively tight-lipped about Carry’s firing.

    Nobody here is saying that the Head Jackass is *deliberately* purging the military, but if stories eventually surface that the ones being relieved are those who have been outspoken critics of his administration, it tends to throw into sharp relief the Vapid Vacationer's “my military” statement into a completely different context, doesn't it?

    And context is what matters. ~ Hunter
