The Carlyle group has so many levels and partnerships that no one can keep track of it..Was in the news about a decade or more ago..this is probable where Emarine got his info..I would call them a holding co, that is Carlyle does nothing, produces nothing but owns and controls other company s..Need to read volumes to get a grip on this outfit..They promote the business of war..in bed with countless people in this and other country s.. Provided munitions for Al quida, Ben Lauden construction was a partner at one time.. Involved in Reagan s gun running..So much can not tell what is true and what not..But clear they are an evil group..Do a bunch of research and let me know today s status.. Have fun, will be hard to find most of the info... Can`t spell worth a darn today...

TP Ron... I read with interest the link you provided.... Thank you :thumbup: ... however I find a few problems.... First off 20k on the stingers is unrealistic.... Second is in the conclusion...Not wanting the Middle East to become America’s next Vietnam, the military wants Obama gone. And now the military has a strong partner, the Carlyle Group whose connections ripple through the American power structure. These connections and the other reasons why the Obama administration may not be standing by the end of year will be presented in part two. .... The Carlyle group influenced the Iraq war... has profited in the billions from it... They thrive on war.... That is why Obama has many problems...They fund the far right propaganda machine ... The Carlyle Group has infected our governing process...These are the people that Eisenhower warned us about...The Industrial military complex, multinational investment bankers, crony capitalists ... Part 2 should be interesting

I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I like being left alone to enjoy my life. As luck would have it we aren't going to be left alone to enjoy our twlite years. We are at a turning point in the America and being an old fogey, geezers, senior citizens, "Baby Boomers", and in some cases dinosaur, doesn't give us the excuse to sit back and expect younger Americans to take over the helm. It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies." Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse.
With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

A couple or three were kicked out in 2010 and you can find some kicked out of the Army, Marines and Air Force, 15 that is in 2012 and 2013.

It appears we are shrinking the Navy much more than the other services since there have been 79 of them from Commander up in 2011 - 2013. From 2011 through 2013 there were 79 with 22 in 2011, 30 in 2012, and 27 in 3013. Surely with numbers like this non-coms will be running the Navy soon.

The link shows the names, ranks, commands and the year they were removed. It is very interesting that a large number of majors from the Air Force have been thrown out, also.
