Slapping our brave troops in the face and ratcheting up our peril level in one fell swoop

Gotta hand it to this regime.  It knows how to maximize expressions of its disdain for everything normal Americans hold dear:

More soldiers could learn while in Afghanistan that they are being forced out of the military, the Army’s top officer said Friday.

Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno discussed the cuts with reporters Friday at a breakfast in Washington.

The notifications, part of an effort to rapidly shrink the size of the ground forces, have drawn heavy criticism from lawmakers. In June, more than 1,100 Army captains were notified that their military careers would soon end. It was later revealed that 48 were serving in Afghanistan when they were informed that they were getting the ax.

“The men and women deployed overseas have left their homes and families to fight for our country,” Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ariz., said in a written statement in July. “It’s deplorable the Obama administration would treat them this way.”

More separation notifications went out to 550 Army majors last month, and early retirement boards for lieutenant colonels and colonels are scheduled next year.

“There may be officers deployed to Afghanistan that get notified,” according to an Army spokeswoman.

This regime is an enemy of the very country it rules.
