“The Commandant of the US Air Force Academy does not go through Senate confirmation. This person selected does have to get senate confirmation for promotion to BG. She is now an a full colonel. She would be appointed by the Secretary of the Air Force. The “acting” Secretary, appointed by Obama as UnderSecretary selected this person. Trump’s new Secretary of the AF has not been confirmed yet. She would have never in a million years made this selection. The person making the decision was only there to answer the phones. She knew damn well she was on the way out. This is the Obama deep state in all it’s glory.”
Thanks for your research.
Was homosexuality a disqualification in place during Clinton, but removed? What about during GW Bush?
Do you expect that Trump will opt to expend the political capital, to reinstate homosexuality as a disqualification in the military, in view of American attitudes now?
During his confirmation hearings Mattis’ comments about homosexuals serving sounded like a democrat. I don’t think it bothers him a bit that the 4000 cadets at the Air Force Academy will be under the control of a lesbian who has a “wife” and two children. I think Trump will do what Mattis recommends to him, which will probably be nothing. Hope I’m wrong.
