Ted Nugent booted from Ft Knox concert:

From ABC News:

Rocker Ted Nugent may have emerged unscathed from a Secret Service investigation, but his verbal attack of President Obama is now affecting his musical career.

Commanders at the Fort Knox Army base in Kentucky cut Nugent from their annual summer concert after the controversial rocker told the National Rifle Association he will "either be dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama is re-elected and blasted members of the administration, saying conservatives should "chop their heads off."

"After learning of opening act Ted Nugent's recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," Army officials posted on the base's Facebook page.

Nugent said the concert cancellation was an "insult" and maintained that he was merely exercising his First Amendment rights when he toldthe NRA convention that Obama was running a "vile, evil, America-hating administration."

"To think that there's a bureaucrat in the United States Army that would consider the use or abuse of First Amendment rights in determining who is going to perform at an Army base is an insult and defiles the sacrifices of those heroes who fought for the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights," Nugent told the Associated Press.

So here is what actually occurred:

You can bet that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Army General Martin Dempsey, received a "message" from the White House, via a direct phone call, e-mail or text.

From there, the Chairman's office sent another "message" to the Army Chief of Staff (Ft Knox is under US Army control) General Raymond T. Odierno.

More phone calls or e-mails down the food chain.

And from there Ted Nugent was severed from the annual summer concert by US Army administrative decree.

And this in turn reveals more than you would care to know. To wit:

There clearly isn't anyone, now, in major military administrative positions, who will willingly stand against the PC world we now inhabit. Instead -- and no shock here -- our senior military administrators would much rather fellate civilian cock for a paycheck and benefits than even remotely upset their own personally-secure retirement boat. Their careers supported or demolished by Barack HUSSEIN Obama. No balls. No testosterone. Only estrogen.

And so I say to Mr Nugent: apparently you're doing something right, because of these results.

Keep on keeping on, sir.

You are Right, and they are wrong.

P.S.



That said, one thing you may not know is this:

After the 1986 reorganization of the military undertaken by the Goldwater-Nichols Act, the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have operational command of U.S. military forces.

Responsibility for conducting military operations goes from the President to the Secretary of Defense directly to the commanders of the Unified Combatant Commands and thus bypasses the Joint Chiefs of Staff completely.
