General Reveals ‘Demoralizing’ Treatment Endured While Serving Under Obama
by
Barack Obama has made his disdain for our military abundantly clear. Skipping funerals of high-ranking military officers to play golf, refusing to return a salute, and using our Marines as his umbrella boys, the list of his deliberate insults is extensive. Behind closed doors, things are even worse than we imagined, but now, one General is speaking out and exposing the deplorable treatment he endured under Obama.
U.S. Air Force Gen. Norman Ham was one of the officers on the ground in Benghazi that fateful night, and he decided to go rogue and ignore Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s stand down order to surrender control of the area to al-Qaeda terrorists, leaving our men at the consulate to die. Upon receiving an order he felt was unlawful, General Ham made the unilateral decision to deploy special operations teams to rescue our men, but was immediately arrested by his second in command and relieved of duty.
Now that Gen. Ham has retired from the military and free to speak candidly without fear of retaliation, he’s sharing the demoralizing experience he endured, speaking openly about the issues he had while serving under Obama as Commander-in-Chief.
“Now that I don’t have to be politically correct anymore, it was demoralizing to work for Obama,” Ham began in an interview with Trending Today USA with Rusty Humphries.
Ham explained how Obama’s drastic cut to our military’s spending made it impossible for him and other high-ranking officers to adequately perform their duties and take care of the troops under their command.
“Sequestration severely handicapped our military training-wise, readiness, equipment, facilities,” he said. “It was demoralizing. Your whole job as a general is to take care of people; because when you take care of people, you get the mission done. We weren’t allowed to take care of the people the way we needed to take care of people.”
He went on to blast Obama over trading traitors for terrorists, saying this did nothing but empower our enemies.

“When we’re trading, you know, traitors for terrorists,” he said. “We’re paying ransom to the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.”
Perhaps most disturbing was Ham’s revelation that, if high-ranking officers didn’t go along with the president’s antics, Obama would simply get rid of them.
“We’re on our fourth secretary of defense,” he said. “There’s a reason for that. None of them gave Obama the answer that he wanted.”
Ham went on to blast Hillary Clinton as a “lifetime politician” who “has never accomplished a real job in her life.” He added that America needs a leader, such as Donald Trump, with integrity, who will provide leadership that our country so desperately needs.
“This country needs a leader,” he said. “We need a leader with integrity, a leader that sees goodness in all Americans that can bring up together and lead us forward.”
It’s disturbing that our highest ranking military officials are treated in such an abominable fashion by Obama, living in constant fear that their careers will be cut short if they don’t comply with president’s unlawful, immoral, and unethical commands. Gen. Ham should be hailed a hero. He knew that leaving our men in Benghazi to die was not a lawful order, and he went against Obama’s commands that night, which in the end unfairly ruined his career.
Hopefully, those still serving in the military will follow Gen. Ham’s example and always remember that the oath taken when joining the military is not to the president but to defend the Constitution of the Untied States, not just against foreign enemies, but domestic ones as well. Once you realize, like I did, that you’re serving under a domestic terrorist, it’s time to hang up the uniform and get out.
