Since that thread is pretty much dead and a few shown interest in this I made a new thread for discussion because everyone loves a good conspiracy.

In 2003, he was awarded the Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale Award for inspirational leadership in recognition of the hard work by the crew of Oldendorf.

The eighth, a forced retirement?

Ham previously served as Commanding General, U.S. Army Europe and Seventh Army from August 28, 2008 to March 8, 2011. Prior to that, he served as Director for Operations (J-3) at the Joint Staff from August 2007 to August 2008 and the Commanding General, U.S. 1st Infantry Division from August 2006 to August 2007. He commanded Africa Command from March 8, 2011 - April 5, 2013.
All these gentleman are pretty distinguished Officers, all fired over a short period of time. Popular theories range from they were planning a coup all the way to they refused to comply with Marshal Law.
Of course the only facts we really know is what is presented here, all other theories are just speculation. Although, One source sited the firings as a first in U.S. history, I did not fact check that claim.
Is it just a coincidence? Or is there more to this? We certainly live in very interesting times.edit on 14-10-2013 by Tazkven because: Added eighth
