"A
prominent Army general, bolstered by other military and defense
leaders, contends President Obama’s preferred counterinsurgency policy
is proving to be “devastating” for America and rewarding to its enemies.
Maj.
Gen. Paul E. Vallely, now retired, was deputy commanding general in the
Army’s Pacific Command, is founder of Stand Up America and has been a
military analyst for Fox News.
Vallely says Obama has so degraded and demoralized the military in
multiple ways – including a major purge of senior officers, with almost
200 relieved of duty over Obama’s five years as commander-in-chief and
nine generals this year alone – that those remaining cannot speak out
for fear of being forced out of the military.
Essentially,
Obama’s counterinsurgency, or COIN, doctrine is a form of warfare that
makes soldiers trained to fight tank battles shift to a combat style
that emphasizes politics, cultural awareness and protecting the local
population from insurgent attacks, Vallely said.
The result looks like failure, he said."
