Michele Obama, Jill Biden: Their Husbands are Firing our Military at an Alarming Rate
There are many stories being written about the shoddy care our military veterans are receiving from the Veterans Administration. The untold story is that of how President Obama is firing our military by the hundreds of thousands. This is a crisis for those military members and their families who are suddenly out of a job.
These reductions-in-force have created a national crisis that is turning into a national scandal. A jobs crisis for U.S. military veterans. Jobs is the top issue with these recently fired veterans, just ask any veterans service organization, they will tell you it is all about jobs.
So, President Obama created this crisis and his wife Michele and Jill Biden, the Second lady, have decided to make political hay while the sun shines. They are trying to turn lemons into lemonade with their hire a veteran radio promotions under the “Joining Forces” campaign. On the Joining Forces website Michele and Jill plead, “Support for our Heroes -Let’s make sure no veteran has to fight for a job at home after they fight for our nation overseas.” You may have heard Michele and Jill on iHeartRadio stations asking business to hire veterans, as their husbands continue to reduce our military to pre-WWII levels.
Michele and Jill write in a Fortune Magazine op-ed, “But the challenge of giving them that chance is only becoming more urgent. In the coming years, more than a million service members will be hanging up their uniforms and transitioning to civilian life. That’s on top of the hundreds of thousands of veterans and military spouses already out there looking for work.”
Millions more of our military will be fired. But don’t be alarmed, we will back-fill them with homosexuals, cross dressers and transgenders. Like the new recruitment effort using the transgender “Warrior Princes“, the former Navy SEAL Chris Beck, now Kristin Beck. Bill Gertz from The Washington Times reports:
“Who’s paying for this?” the official asked. “Especially in these trying fiscal times with reduction-in-force boards, selective early retirement boards and early terminations for our enlisted ranks, someone is wasting money by mainstreaming a transgendered veteran?
Ms. Beck said she is not “pushing” for transgender integration in the military. “I am speaking about being a ‘human’ and the value of people in the armed forces,” she stated in an email. The military is looking at allowing transgenders in the military and “I am giving them correct information instead of stereotypes and misguided information of the past,”
Ms. Beck said, adding that 13 nations permit transgenders in their armed forces.
Never let a good crisis, particularly one that you created, go to waste.
