By now, there can be no doubt that the POS hates and is determined to
destroy the world's most powerful military:
- He purged the military of some of its top officers (see
here<https://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/obama-purges-us-military-command-part-2/>and
here<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/obama-purges-u-s-military-command/>
).
- He's destroying the military's command structure by changing personnel
policy to require top officers be reviewed by
subordinates<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/obama-changes-military-personnel-policy-to-require-top-officers-be-reviewed-by-subordinates/>
.
- He's destroying our soldiers' morale by:
- Not just ending "Don't Ask Don't Tell", but
- Giving homosexuals preferential treatment
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/gays-in-military-get-preferential-treatment/>while
punishing and silencing critics;
- Threatening to court martial soldiers for sharing their
Christian
faith<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/pentagon-may-court-martial-soldiers-for-sharing-their-christian-faith/>
.
- He's callous about our soldiers' wellbeing by:
- Doing nothing about U.S. Navy uniforms being extremely
flammable<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/u-s-navy-uniforms-extremely-flammable-but-nothing-is-done-about-it/>
.
- Eliminating hot midnight meals for Marines in
Afghanistan<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/31/no-more-hot-midnight-meals-for-marines-in-afghanistan/>
.
Here's the latest.
ABC7/WJLA
reports<http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/05/caretakers-for-wounded-warriors-at-walter-reed-receive-furlough-notices-89467.html>,
May 30, 2013, that the greater D.C. region’s *two military hospitals --
Walter Reed and Fort Belvoir -- are furloughing more than 3,500 civilian
employees who care for America’s wounded warriors. *
A furlough is a temporary layoff. The furloughs at the two military
hospitals stem from the automatic budget cuts from sequestration.
The impacted employees are from departments across the board at both
hospitals, including members of the trauma team, physical therapists and
nurses. They will be forced to take 11 unpaid furlough days starting in
July.
The 3,500 employees who are furloughed comprise *nearly the entire civilian
staffs of the two hospitals:*
- 94% (or 2,392) of the civilian staff at Walter Reed National Military
Medical Center in Bethesda.
- 85% (or 1,163) of the civilian caregivers at Fort Belvoir’s hospital
in Virginia.
Officials promise patient care will not be compromised. Walter Reed said in
a statement: “The assessment of over 2,500 civilian positions determined
that 163 staff exemptions were necessary to maintain the highest levels of
care for warrior inpatients and outpatients in rehabilitation and other
critical areas. Fortunately, our wounded warrior census is significantly
lower than experienced during the peak wartime period, yet our staffing
remains consistent with peak levels.”
Hospital officials refused ABC7’s repeated requests for an interview. But a
staffer who spoke with ABC7 said *employees were told not to speak with the
media.*
Out of the Department of Defense's 800,000 civilian workers, about 68,000
are exempt from the furloughs. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has said
furloughs will save the DoD $1.8 billion.
