AND STILL MORE GENERALS FIRED! "The commandant of the Marine Corps on Monday took the extraordinary step of firing two generals for not adequately protecting a giant base in southern Afghanistan that Taliban fighters stormed last year, resulting in the deaths of two Marines and the destruction of half a dozen U.S. fighter jets." "Gurganus did seek permission in the summer of 2012 to add 160 troops to protect Bastion and Leatherneck, but his superiors in Kabul rejected the request because the military had reached a limit on forces set by the White House." ...and just wait until you read about the joint security arrangements with the British that left a guard tower unmanned, relying on troops from Tonga to protect the base. Yet another base where our people who are NOT on duty must be disarmed. Yet another base we are charged with protecting with ever fewer and fewer troops...
