What has happened to my Military, Admirals getting sacked for doing the right thing, lawyers approving terminations of terrorists. Something is wrong and I blame the senior officers of the military for acting cwardly and not coming public on the major politization of our military through political corectness and political intimidation. Seems the officer class has sold their souls.

Pentagon replaces second commander since Sept. 11 Benghazi attack
Special to WorldTribune.com
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy has replaced the commander of an aircraft
carrier strike group in the Middle East.

The Navy said it approved a request by Fifth Fleet chief Vice Adm. John
Miller to reassign the commander of the USS John C. Stennis Carrier Strike
Group. The Navy said the Stennis commander, Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette, was
returning to the United States amid an investigation of an operation in the
Gulf.
Gaouette is the second high-profile military official to be relieved of his command duties since the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11. Gen. Carter Ham, commander of U.S. Africa Command, was replaced by Gen. David Rodriguez on Oct. 18. Some reports have suggest that Ham, Gaouette or both gave unauthorized orders to assist U.S. personnel at the Benghazi consulate and annex during the Sept. 11 attack.
“Gaouette’s Chief of Staff, Captain William C. Minter, will lead the
strike group until the arrival of Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker, who will assume command until the matter is resolved,†the Navy said on Oct. 27.
The replacement of a naval commander during operational deployment has been deemed rare. Officials said Gaouette was being investigated on allegations of what they termed “inappropriate leadership judgment.â€
Stennis was part of the enhanced U.S. Navy deployment in the Gulf to
counter the rising threat of Iran. The carrier group has played a major role in maritime security and the passage of merchants ships through the Iranian-dominated Strait of Hormuz.
The Navy did not say how long Minter was expected to lead the Stennis group. Shoemaker, the designated successor, has served as commander of
Carrier Strike Group Nine and participated with the Abraham Lincoln Strike
Group, also deployed in the Gulf.
