Time was when the American military was proudly apolitical. No more.
The Democrats finally realized that most of them were voting Republican and decided to make sure they were more sympathetic to the Democrat view.
So our military is not only being warned away from right-wing groups, such as the Tea Party and Christian fundamentalists, they reportedly will be punished if they help these groups with contributions.
The Democrats were already seeing to it that the military wasn’t allowed to win in Iraq and Afghanistan or pay attention to in-house Jihadis like Major Hassan. And retirees such as Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely were saying there’s a purge of insufficiently-PC commanders underway.
So the new righty-scorning line is just the latest step towards a fully political, i.e. Democrat, military. Which is the best reason I can think of to keep on downsizing it. It doesn’t do much of anything anyhow except waste money.

UPDATE: More on the purge, which names names, though some of them seem to have been retired for other than political reasons.
