Trump effect.
The cardinal tactic of progressive action is that nothing is settled until it is settled the way they want it settled, and then it is supposed to be settled in perpetuity.
Trump is turning that around, unsettling everything that progressives thought they had “settled.” As my daughter occasionally asks my wife, “Can I have the keys to the karma?”
Seems pretty simple to me:
Obama got rid of serious military minds through scandal and/or forced retirement.
Obama promoted military people who would push a progressive (homosexual) agenda.
Obama forced people to accept stupid PC policies (like removing “man” from naval ranks).
Then Hillary lost the election.
Trump is coming in, and the Navy is heaving a sigh of relief and reversing course on rank re-naming.
Serious military minds are coming back into government and will be setting policy.
The Democrats are seeing their work of emasculating the US Military all fade away.
Reverting back to the original Navy ratings is the least of the changes that have to be made. Women out of combat arms jobs, an end to the cross dresser policy, even a return to Don’t Ask, Don’t tell. Treating traitors like traitors in the cases of Nidal Hassan, Beau Berghdal, pardoning and commuting the sentences of heroes thrown into prison for doing their jobs in combat, ending the county club atmosphere at Gitmo, riding the ranks of destructive political correctness, there are many, many things that need to change to return our military to its war fighting zenith. Let’s get started. Retired Army Officer.
Time for some push back.
Like the MSN, the current appointed official in the military just knew that Clinton was going to become the next President. So even though the rank and file sailors hated the new system they pushed it through knowing it would be backed by Clinton. She lost. Trump won. Those same top appointed officials now knew they were screwed and made the sudden reversal!
The writing is on the wall- the adults will be back in charge.
