    A sign that a person is a thinker or able to think is the person is able to take a number of facts and put together a conclusion from the facts--and get the right answer.  This document is a short document that has been put together to help a person come to a conclusion about a problem that exists in the United States of America, and the problem is Barack Obama, and the theme is the United States military.  In essence, I think Barack Obama dislikes the U.S. military--as it is--which is, generally speaking, loyal to the United States of America and not just to him.

    I stand up for and support the military of the United States of America, since I know a country that is like the United States of America must be able to defend itself, knowing there are evil persons in control of countries or simply evil persons in the world who command followers who want to destroy the United States of America, because what their lives involve is destroying others and hurting others.  History shows that the military of the United States of America has the aim of protecting the country, or history shows that, generally speaking, the members of the military of the United States of American have the aim of protecting the country as it was founded from enemies.  The United States military and I, then, are enemies to someone who would want to change the country into something that it was not founded as, and such a person would have to get me and the United States military out of the way in the attempt to make the United States of America into something that it was not founded as.

    Let me show you some facts, all of which you can verify for yourself by doing research through the Internet:

    On July 2, 2008, Barack Obama said during a speech in Colorado Springs, Colorado: "...We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.  We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just was well funded....."

    One of Barack Obama's first orders in early 2009 as the U.S. President was the order to begin the closing down the prison at Guantanamo Bay (the order was signed on January 22, 2009).

    Early in 2009, Barack Obama told the U.S. military that it had to reduce its budget by ten percent for the forthcoming year--fiscal year 2010 (which would start on October 1, 2009).

    Around March 16, 2009, Barack Obama angered people related to the United States of America military be proposing to have, for example, veterans put in private-health insurance--that is, the veterans would not be covered by the federal government, as had been done for decades--and, for example, the proposal faded away when people, such as members of the American Legion, complained loudly publicly

    One of the hot stories that developed in the spring of 2009 and continued beyond the spring of 2009 was the Barack Obama administration was thinking about taking to court those persons--CIA personnel under orders of the George W. Bush administration--who did interrogations of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and it was alleged that the interrogators used torture, such as "water boarding."

    On July 23, 2009, Barack Obama made a statement on Nightline (which is a weeknight series on ABC-TV) that he was uncomfortable using "victory" in relation to the war in Afghanistan.

    For about a seventy-day period in the summer of 2009, Barack Obama only spoke with U.S. General Stanley McChrystal about Afghanistan only once, and U.S. General Stanley McChrystal had sent a report of the requirements to conduct the war in Afghanistan to Barack Obama, and, in essence, it was only after General McChrystal was on 60 Minutes that brought the subject to light that Barack Obama was forced to make contact with General McChrystal.

    On November 11, 2009, Barack Obama met with his national security team, and the national security team presented options to Barack Obama, who seemingly had been stalling on making a decision about Afghanistan, such as sending 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan as had been requested by the military.

    On Friday, November 13, 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder made a number of comments to the press, and one of the comments was: "...After eight years of delaying, those allegedly responsible for the attacks of September eleventh will finally face justice.  They will be brought to New York--to New York--to answer for their alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the twin towers once stood.  I am confident in the ability of our courts to provide these defendants a fair trial just as they have for over two-hundred years.  The alleged nine-eleven conspirators will stand trial in our justice system before an impartial jury under long-established rules and procedures...."  [It is public knowledge that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to being the mastermind in the attacks of September 11, 2001, when he was at Guantanamo, and the knowledge exists in a publicly available 2005 memo of the U.S. Department of Justice.]

    On Friday, November 13, 2009, in Japan, Barack Obama gave a response to a question about the atomic-bomb attacks on Japan at the end of World War II, and here is a part of the response: "...We share, I think, a vision of a world without nuclear weapons.  Ah, we recognize, though, that this is a distant goal, and we have to take specific steps in the interim to meet this goal.  It will take time.  It will not be reached probably even in our own lifetimes....Obviously, Japan, ah, has unique perspective, ah, on the issue of nuclear weapons as a consequence of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and that, I'm sure, helps to motivate the Prime Minister's deep interest in this issue.  I certainly would be honored and it would be meaningful for me to visit those two cities in the future.  I don't have immediate travel plans, ah, but it's something that, ah, would be meaningful to me...."   My research shows that Barack Obama did not answer the question about whether or not using the atomic bombs was justified, and the question would be posed a second time, but he did not answer, and it must be remembered past U.S. Presidents have upheld the use of the atomic bombs.

   Given the information presented, I say that Barack Obama wishes to do harm to the military of the United States of America, and one reason why, which I will hold back in offering yet, can be deduced from the events provided above, but now look at some thoughts:

    By cutting back on the funding to the regular military, the military will be weaker and will get smaller, and the pay scale of members could be stalled or lowered, and that can deter people--not loyal to Barack Obama--from joining the military.

    Through Barack Obama's delays in making a decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan, Barack Obama can cause the death of more U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, since the U.S. force will not be as strong as it could be to destroy the enemies in Afghanistan and since the enemies in Afghanistan have fewer Americans to fight, and, overall, that causes the U.S. military to get smaller--since US. soldiers are killed, who need not be.

    By stalling in making a decision to send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, Barack Obama can the impression that he is not supporting the military properly, which would not matter to him if people thought he was purposely doing, and since the country has a voluntary military--people volunteer to be members--Barack Obama can indirectly deter people from signing up for the military because they could feel they could get killed in service while working under a President who will not back them up, and that can lead to the U.S. military--that which is, in truth, beholden to the country and the citizens and not strictly beholden to him--becoming smaller.

    By stalling in making a decision to send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, Barack Obama can reduce the level of the moral of the U.S. soldiers, and that can lead to the soldiers' not fighting as well as they should, and that gets U.S. soldiers killed.

    Barack Obama has to make the work of the U.S. military harder or make the work done by enemies easier, and that can be done by working to make the U.S. military look bad, such as by, in directly, putting the U.S. military on trial, such as by putting detainees at Guantanamo Bay on trial in the regular court system, where the rules assigned to citizens of the country could apply to the detainees (now defendants) and where information about U.S. military procedures could be made public to all persons in the world, such as enemies.

    Barack Obama has to make it harder for the U.S. military to do work on the battlefield, which will reduce the level of moral and one way in which Barack Obama has already done that took place in early 2009, when the U.S. military had to start reading the "Miranda Rights" to people captured on the battlefield (by the way, it was around June 10, 2009, that U.S. Representative Mike Rogers, who was a Republican related to Michigan, was making it public knowledge that Barack Obama had set down the policy that the U.S. military had to read the Miranda Rights to captured enemies, and you can see evidence of that in my document entitled A Little History of Barack Obama Events: A Show of Deconstruction, which can be reached by using this link: History).

    Note: A military tribunal in relation to the United States of America is a way in which to try enemy combatants during war time (such combatants then do not get tried in U.S. criminal courts or U.S. civil courts).

    Note: In the court case informally called "Johnson V. Eisentrager," the U.S. Supreme court stated that the regular U.S. Court system had no jurisdiction over German war criminals who had not been on American sovereign territory.

    Note: On June 28, 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court made the decision that stated, in essence, the detainees at Guantanamo Bay could take up challenges to their imprisonment in U.S. federal court (the decision was made in relation to a court cast informally known as "Rasul v. Bush").

    Consider this statement: A dictator of a country has to have a military that is loyal to him--and not loyal to the people who are the citizens of the country controlled by the dictator.

    If fewer people enter the military and if the military gets smaller, Barack Obama can propose a "draft" system to get more people in a military, and he could propose those people be enlisted into his wished-for "civilian national security force," and because of the people who Barack Obama has involved in setting up that "civilian national security force," a force can be created that is loyal to Barack Obama--not loyal to the United States of America as it was founded and the citizens of the United States of America as it was founded.

    By the way, in the meantime, Barack Obama has to get the country set up so that citizens will have a hard time fighting back against his personal army once it is created--the army loyal to him and his ways, which are based in fascism, socialism, communism, Marxism, et cetera, which involve coercion and intimidation to control people, especially masses of people, and that means Barack Obama will have to restrict access to guns and ammunition, and what is important for Barack Obama to know is what citizens have guns and what types of guns so that his "national civilian security force" will know who to attack first in the process to get military control of the country, and that means Barack Obama will have to set up a national database of all gun owners in the country and all their types of guns, and, in addition, to weaken the U.S. military and the U.S. citizens, Barack Obama has to destroy the economy, such as by putting the country in deep debt, so that it would be hard for the country to support a military that could do battle in other countries (Barack Obama has already put the country in deep debt, and Barack Obama has also enacted policies that have caused the jobless rate to go higher), and Barack Obama has to hurt the economies of state and local governments so that the numbers of local police officers will be reduced through layoffs and retirements, which would be cited as a reason to set up a "civilian national security force."

     And that concludes my presentation of data, facts, and notes, and, by now, you should have enough information to draw a concluson--this little military-themed logic puzzle shows that Barack Obama can be working to set up an army that will be beholden to him--and only him--and that is the way of dictators, and that is the way of men with ill minds, and that is the way of the highly insane.
 

    P.S. #1: If the regular U.S. military, which has been weaken, is busy in other lands, and if the "civilian national security force" is as well funded as the regular U.S. military is, then what entity will be able to put down the "civilian national security force," if that force is used to hold the country in a martial-law state.

    P.S. #2: Between January 2009 and January 2010, it was reported in several reports by the Pentagon (such as by press secretary Geoff Morrell) that anywhere from 11 percent to 14 percent or even up to 20 percent of the persons who had been detained at Guantanamo Bay and released had returned to the battle against the U.S. or seemed to have returned to the battle against the U.S.
