What is happening to the US officer corps since President Obama took office is reminiscent of Hitler's Night of the Long Knives and Stalin's purge of the Red Army
The military is loyal to the nation or to the idea that defines the country, as is the case in the US. Dictators always try to use them as a personal tool.
UPDATE: After multiple top generals described to WND what they regard as a full-scale “purge” of the U.S. military by the Obama administration, the commander of U.S. Army Garrison Japan was summarily relieved of duty and his civilian deputy reassigned, pending a “misconduct” investigation.
Nine generals and flag officers have been relieved of duty under Obama just this year – widely viewed as an extraordinary number – and several sources put the total number of senior officers purged during the five years of the Obama administration as close to 200. (Source)
