Army to force out 550 majors; some in Afghanistan

About 550 Army majors, including some serving in Afghanistan, will soon be told they have to leave the service by next spring as part of a budget-driven downsizing of the service.

Gen. John Campbell, the vice chief of the Army, acknowledged Friday that telling troops in a war zone that they’re out of a job is a difficult task. But he said some of the soldiers could join the National Guard or the Army Reserve.

The decision to cut Army majors comes on the heels of a move to slash nearly 1,200 captains from the ranks. Army leaders were criticized at the time for giving 48 of them the bad news while they were deployed to Afghanistan.

Keep those that fight in the trenches & fire the generals. Of course, these 550 majors will be placed on the “Domestic Terrorist List”.

This is a must read ( http://www.booksbyoliver.com ) for all Americans who want to take a stand against federal tyranny cause it’s about each of us & what is coming next.

King George III & parliament ignored American petitions/protests & got the American Revolution & now Obama & congress are ignoring what Americans want. It’s not longer what Americans want……but what Americans are going to have to do to regain their freedoms. I recommend it.
