Navy Secretary: If Trump Rolls Back Female Integration, There Will Be Consequences
dailycaller.com ^ | 12/31/16 | Jonah Bennett

Posted on 12/31/2016 9:48:21 AM PST by ColdOne

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said recently in a December interview that while GOP President-elect Donald Trump can roll back social change in the military, doing so will make the force weaker.

Mabus, who has served in the position longer than anyone since World War I, has overseen significant social changes in the military and caused a lot of consternation in the process. Now, in a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Post, he’s warning that if Trump rolls back social change in the military, he should admit that it will damage the force.

“You make the decisions you think are right, right now, regardless what you think is going to happen in the future,” Mabus said. “But we are stronger because of this integration. That is undeniably true. So, if it gets rolled back, you’re weakening the United States military. You’re weakening the Navy. You’re weakening the Marine Corps. If that’s what you want to do, okay. But you have to be honest about it.”

Adios, Ray from every current and former sailor whose Navy speciality ended with “man”!

You vile pcism tried to remove “man” from sailors whose speciality had “man” at the end forever.

That pc bs backfired in your left wing face.

Trump will have good retired Admirals and Marine generals to help his new SecNav do the right things.

Ray, take a hike and disappear with your boy wonder!

Ray, you just don’t have a say in the matter anymore.

Suck it up buttercup, the reign of gay tyranny is over!

Stronger in what way? Is that assessment made based on some feel good platitude like “diversity is strength”? Because that is BS by any measure.

Hopefully, Trump will be able to restore our military to it’s primary role, which is to kill people and break things.

Hopefully, Trump will be able to restore our military to it’s primary role, which is to kill people and break things, based on good, up to date and accurate intel. Not the politicalized lies, the CIA has come out with, like the Russian Hacking
lie.

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. 
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. 
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Weaker for Babus’s purposes, certainly, but much more effective as a fighting force.

Bullshit.

If Trump abolishes women in combat MOS, there sure will be consequences ... the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps will be stronger.

Anyone who “served” this vile administration deserves every bit of derision that can be thought of to pile upon them.

When you tell Gay Ray to pack his sh!t, he interprets is very differently than you and I.

First thing he does is get an assistant. He can't do it without one.

A sea lawyer. Nothing more.

DoD is undergoing a hostile takeover.

So navy run by a lawyer, reminds me of a certain senator from SC that spent time as an Army lawyer so he knows everything about foreign relationships. Opps foreign relations does not sound just right. LOL

Mabus - the guy who named a supply ship after Harvey Milk. That’s all you need to know.

Who said that he was going to do that? He will do whatever is necessary to make the military strong again. If that means putting people in positions that they are suited for, so be it.

Has Mabus even piloted a row boat?

No, but he has played RipTide on his iPhone. Does that count at combat?
