Obama Needs to Demand Resignation of Marine Corps Commandant

I have voiced my concern - alright, outrage - previously at the Liar-in-Chief's selection of General James Amos as the new head of the U. S. Marine Corps. Amos has made no secret of his open contempt for LGBT Americans and has argued for the retention of the religious based policy of discrimination known as Don't Ask, Don't Tell. And all of this was known to the Liar-in-Chief BEFORE he tapped Amos to head up the Marine Corps. Now, Amos - who can only be described as a bigoted bigot who cares little for the U. S. Constitution which he is sworn to uphold - has shot off his mouth again claiming that repeal of DADT will result in military deaths. Obama needs to ask for Amos' resignation NOW - and if Obama fails to do so immediately, it will underscore the reality that he's never given a damn about seeing DADT repealed. It's all been smoke and mirrors and a desire to tap into LGBT money and votes. The Beverly Hills Courier has details on Amos' verbal diarrhea. Here are highlights:
*
The chief of the US Marine Corps said Tuesday that ending a ban on openly gay troops in the military could jeopardize the lives of Marines in combat by undermining closely knit units. General James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps and an opponent of lifting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" prohibition, cited a Pentagon study saying Marines fighting in Afghanistan were worried that permitting gays to serve openly could disrupt "unit cohesion."
*
"When your life hangs on a line, on the intuitive behavior of the young man ... who sits to your right and your left, you don't want anything distracting you," Amos told reporters at the Pentagon. "I don't want to lose any Marines to distraction. I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda (hospital) with no legs," he said.
*
Obama's fellow Democrats are pressing for another vote on the issue, but it remains unclear if the measure will win enough support in the final days of the current session.

Republicans, who oppose scrapping the ban, will take control of the House of Representatives from January and Democrats in the Senate will see their majority dwindle to 53 out of 100, meaning the move is highly unlikely to pass during the next session of Congress.

Besides being Liar-in-Chief, Obama is commander-in-chief and Amos' statements amount to nothing less than wilful insubordination. The old bigot needs to be sent into retirement, preferably with a demotion in rank as well.
