Obama’s only Navy secretary pushed an agenda of social change. Now, he leaves with a warning

“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.”

It’s my understanding the enlisted ratings have been reinstated.

There was an Air Force general who pretty much said the same thing. He also said, loosely, "If you can't support this agenda, then you need to look for work elsewhere."

........and now the Air Force is hemorrhaging pilots. The "agenda" included a requirement to show a history of "actively" promoting equal opportunity.

The "true/historical" Marine Corps no longer exists.

oscumbo has done his job well.

Heaven forbid that we get into a ground war with the chicoms before the Corps is restored.

There’s one named after Gabby Gifford too.
***************************
I posted a comment where I couldn’t recall her last name. I tried Gabbert and Gilbert but KNEW they weren’t correct, so thanks for posting her name.

We expressed similar feelings that no Navy ship should bear that name.

Changing things back would definitely weaken the military as an organ of social breakdown which is what the Democrats intended and still intend it to be.

“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.”

How is the Navy stronger because of gays and women? Is it faster? More accurate? Greater firepower? More damage resistant? How about a few metrics to back up that claim.

“But we are stronger because of this integration. That is undeniably true.

Not undeniable at all. In fact please define in what ways we are 'stronger'?

Reduced standards? Anti-white laws and groups, Anti-west sentiment, high racial tensions...?

When Leftists like this a-hole say something is “undeniably true”, you know it is just the opposite.

Whenever someone says something is ‘undeniable’ or ‘irrefutable’, chances are the opposite is true.

I was on an APA (WWII Troop Carrier) and our racks were sort of double about 6 high and not much room between tiers.

Back then the ‘do funnys’ were facing brig time and the Marines Guards had little use for ‘fudge packers and popsicle boy/girls’.

Occasionally someone would get ‘roaming hand’s’ which in many cases resulted in a thump as the guy next to you would suddenly hit the deck.

His near future included a shower, often being helped to the next level where the showers were and they had a tendency to ‘trip up a ladder’.

At the Captains Mast, when questioned where the bruises etc came from (blanket partys were also in use) the ‘fell UP the ladder’ was put in use.

You would think there wasn’t a whole lot of this activity BUT just once or twice a cruise was sufficient ...

In todays Navy ‘we’ would probably be charged with human rights violations, attempted murder etc.

MIND YOU....It wasn’t the fag we detested, it was his actions etc.

Also used to laugh at old British Movies where they were asking each other for a fag (cigarette)... kind of like watching a 30s or 40s movie and have an actor say he had a ‘gay’ old time last night...which OF COURSE in that era meant he had a night of singing, dancing and fun..

There is a whole NEW faction to the OLD

Eat, Drink and be Merry(sic)......

Thank God the adults are back in charge because SecNav Mabus was no adult and he was incredibly stupid.

My list is rather long, and includes anyone who has been on the Executive Schedule 1 through 5 between January 21, 2009 and January 19, 2017. All should be under investigation as of January 22, 2017, IMHO.

We went through 3 commanders of the local Marine base here who were relieved from command for “failure to inspire confidence” in the space of a year. No reason ever given as to anything they did wrong.

As a governor of Mississippi he was a cowardly dick. As the SECNAV he is the same. Trump can’t get rid of him fast enough.

“You make the decisions you think are right, right now, regardless what you think is going to happen in the future,”

This is the sort of rationalization I expect to hear from some Hollywood type who just got caught with a pound of cocaine and a tranny hooker. Consequences? What are those?

Sadly, yes. And he named a new class of oilers after Georgia Congressman John Lewis. Never mind that Lewis never served in the military. Mabus’s rationale? “He’s a friend of mine.”

Even more pathetic are the legions of Navy admirals who refused to stand up to this clown.

Wanna bet Mad Dog is not into political correctness/gender bending in the military?

I'd like to see him get away with this $hit in the private sector. He won't have the bully pulpit there.

Have you looked at Ford, General Mills, Kelloggs, Disney, Target, et al lately?
