Continuing an alarming trend of general-grade officers being forced into retirement under the Obama Administration, Brigadier General Bryan Roberts abruptly resigned earlier this week. Roberts, the Commander of Fort Jackson, the Army’s largest training post, also oversaw the training of Iraqi security forces and worked on the Joint Staff of the Pentagon. Somewhat unsurprisingly, he resigned under allegations of misconduct; apparently, according to the Army Criminal Investigations Division, General Roberts was in an “altercation” with a woman.

No criminal charges are being filed, but if General Roberts’ case sounds oddly familiar, that’s because it is; a slew of the military’s top officers have been removed from service under the Obama Administration, not a few of them accused of “misconduct”.

In 2009, General David McKiernen was in command of the Afghanistan theater, a no-brainer position for the man who led the United States ground forces in the invasion of Iraq. After being in office for only 4 months, and insinuating that Afghanistan was the nobler of the two wars, Obama relieved McKiernen of duty, due to the
President’s “unsatisfaction” in his performance.

General Stanley McChrystal was relieved of Command of the International Security Assistance Force of Afghanistan by the President in 2010. The early retirement was linked to the suspicious death of reporter Michael Hastings, who had published a controversial story involving McChrystal in Rolling Stone Magazine. From 2003 to 2008, he served as director of the Joint Special Operations Command, and was known for being the man who said what others were afraid to, landing him in hot water with the Obama Administration.

McChrystal was replaced by General David Petraeus in 2010, who ended up being one of three high-ranking officers controversially removed by Obama over the Benghazi incident. Under allegations of adultery, which he was never indicted with, Petraeus formally retired as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, which was under heavy scrutiny following the death of Ambassador Stevens and the suspicious activity of the CIA in Libya. Petraeus, who formerly commanded all forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, also joined General Carter Ham and Admiral Adam Gaouette in early retirement, courtesy of the President. Both Ham, who was head of AFRICOM, and Gaouette, who was stationed off the coast of Africa, reportedly disobeyed stand-down orders by the Administration, in an attempt to rescue Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans when terrorist forces attacked the American embassy in Benghazi.

Earlier this year, the man who resumed command of ISAF after General Petraeus was relieved, Marine Corps General John Allen, resigned after allegations of “inappropriate communications” with Jill Kelly, the woman Petraeus was accused of having an affair with. The allegations were never criminally investigated, and were not the reasons for his resignation.

At least seven high ranking and high profile officers in the US military have been forced into an early retirement by the Obama Administration, most of them men who commanded forces in Afghanistan, or were involved with the debacle in Benghazi. It doesn’t take a very astute man to find this highly suspicious, and worthy of noting. If Obama is blatantly firing officers who disobey him, or men who threaten to expose his corruption, he sure is leaving a pretty obvious trail.

To bad this doesn't talk about the 170+ General's, Admirals and Senior Officers who have resigned since this idiot took office. Then he drums out the best of what he has left because he is a egomaniac with a god complex who knows NOTHING about the military.

He is destroying the country, our national security and our military.

Stalin played the same Game,and it came back to haunt him!
Turkish Erdogan,new Ottoman Caliph,is pulling the same Stunts!
So one can guess what Obama's motives are!

How is it President Obama's fault that Gen. Roberts had an affair? It's unlikely that Obama had anything to do with the investigation, since the decision to start it certainly wouldn't go any higher than the Joint Chiefs. It's just a case of another General Officer being caught acting unethically, which is actually a pretty serious offense in the Army Officer Corps. Similar offenses are also why those other generals left.

As far as General McChrystal being relieved by President Obama, that's basically a formality. The order comes from the Commander-in-Chief, but it also comes at the recommendation from the Secretary of the Army and a chain of other officers below that, and only after a very serious investigation. This is not some Stalinist Purge.

Anyway, there's no doubt that the Army has many Colonels that'll happily take those General slots.

Nope,just an Obumanist Purge going to have essentially the same Result!

Obama is wasting amazing talent over BS. BTW Roberts and McChrystal aren't counted in the over 170(record numbers BTW) Generals and Admirals and Flag Officers who have jumped ship under Obama because he is an incompetent POS.
