Obama wants only military leaders who will agree to fire on US citizens?

LRRPF52, I am certain that you are a thoughtful and well-read man.

Can we agree on three flaws in some analyses offered here?

(1) Immersing oneself in the history and geopolitics vetted by the perpetrators affords no monopoly on insight or reality, only a facile and better rehearsed "party line" than those of us who are—how did the poster put it?—fat ignoramuses.
(2) To insist there is no political litmus test for general officers to accede to the agenda of command and control is to deny all of recorded history. It is actually remarkable that we file it under "news" when it is actually axiomatic.
(3) Discounting/ignoring the damage already inflicted by the bankster/warmonger tribe, while mostly finger-pointing at the Chinese and Islamic tribes, will generate a distorted picture that barely approximates reality, enables the enemy already in our midst, and so precludes effective defense.

Agree?

The history and politics I have studied aren't vetted by the Royal Institute of International Affairs and their public relations firms. It is mostly driven by the experiences of my family on both sides of the Atlantic: On one side is a very real understanding of pre and post-war Europe from the Finnish, Czech, & German perspectives, and on the other, a childhood immersed on the front lines of the Cold War, followed by 10 years of military service. To-date, I have traveled to or lived in 30 different nations in North America, Central Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Asia, the Middle East, and Central America. That education is something I could never have obtained from reading literature, although heavy doses of book study have been present throughout.

You might have missed it when I described the same accusations you raise against traditional powers that be. I agree that there is a political litmus test for General officers in practice, as the stories of every significant General officer throughout history point to that scenario, whether we look at the Greeks, the Romans, Mannerheim, Rommel, McArthur, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Schwarzkopf, Franks, Patreus, or Powell. Leaders of Empires and nations surround themselves with military leaders who they know or think they know under the constraints of the last leader's generals.

With the European dynastic lines who have been dominant in international finance, I make no moral rationalizations for behavior that violates what I consider basic tenets of acceptable human interaction. That includes the opium wars of the British and East India Companies, as well as the mass theft of US wealth via their clearing house disguised as a US central bank.

A more pressing issue for this generation, however, is that the world is undergoing a major power-shift driven by Chinese influence with total unrestricted warfare, including a puppet that they own in the current White House, economic warfare battles that remain largely hidden from the public, militant Islamic proxies, and useful idiots within our own Federal legislature willing to knee-jerk to the emotional trumpet of disarmament.

I've studied the history of international financial structure most of my life, and I learned about its history and foundations before the internet was commonly available. It's a reality of generations of people who are raised from birth to look at themselves as masters of an exclusive industry that requires their "gifted" rulership, which I understand, but disagree with. Like I mentioned, the US free enterprise system was well on its way to putting them out of business from 1890-1910, and they formed alliances among traditional competitors to save each other under a price-fixing and taxation scam, dumped onto the largely-ignorant American public in the years from 1910-1913.

We can go back and forth about that, but how do we address the pressing issues of a Manchurian President? Clinton was a bi-polar puppet with loyalties to both the Europeans and Easterners, but Obama is clearly in the Chinese, Middle Eastern, and African court. How would our Nation shed the behind-the-scenes influences of both from our National Command Authority? That is the real question, and a tough nut to crack, since both camps have been influential for so many decades.
