On Monday, U.S. military officials denied claims from a Washington Times blog that Gen. Carter Ham, former head of U.S. Africa command, may have been fired due to an intent to disobey defense secretary Leon Panetta's order to "stand down" while the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi were underway. This story is gathering steam as Charlie Woods, father of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, went on the Glenn Beck show this past weekend to claim that President Barack Obama had shown no remorse for his son's death during their meeting. (YouTube Video) Over the weekend, a source inside the Pentagon informed Times reporter James Robbins that Gen. Ham wanted to send special forces units to help Americans under siege in Libya despite orders from Sec. Panetta to stand down. Ham was supposedly relieved of his command by a junior officer just before Ham was to order the rescue mission.

Cover-up, fake, fraud, coercion, lies, bribes, and BS! Meanwhile they're holding Gen. Ham in the stockade, and pumping him full of "joker" drugs, to shut him up! That ought to do it, leading into the election.
No,they are not. I don't know where you got that from,but they are lying. General Officers are not treated that way,and if one were you can bet your bippy it would be prime time news because the other Generals wouldn't stand for it. Just because these people take a oath to remain subservient to the political leadership doesn't mean they will or should take that kind of abuse. At MOST he would be relieved of his command and put on immediate administrative leave until his retirement papers could be processed.
But Colonels are? LMFAO Majors? At what level do you get exemption from the cheney Torture Brigade.....
