President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services.
Fanning’s nomination is the latest in a series of actions taken by the administration to advance the rights of gays and lesbians throughout the federal government. The Obama administration has overhauled internal policies to provide benefits to same-sex partners, appointed gay men and lesbians to the executive branch and the federal bench and ended the 18-year ban on gays serving openly in the military.
Fanning, who must still be confirmed by the Senate, has been a specialist on defense and national security issues for more than 25 years in Congress and the Pentagon. As Army secretary, he would be partnered with Gen. Mark Milley, who took over as the Army’s top general in August. Together the two men would assume responsibility for the Pentagon’s largest and most troubled service.

Not being a parent and being former military, I can only say I wouldn’t want to entrust any child of mine to Obola’s military, since that anti-American traitor would do his best to get them buggered, raped, killed, or mutilated, and then shit on them afterwards.
So, if you’re straight, you’re not going to get a job in the District of Corruption ever again. If you’re not a sexual deviant, faggedaboutit.
Given that this “gay pride” goof is now in charge, I am waiting to hear somebody explain why our military is still supposed to command the RESPECT of people in foreign countries.
In yo face, America! - Barry
You are right.
Everything he does is designed as a direct insult.
The next non-’Rat president is going to need one hell of a RESET button. This crap is getting ridiculous.
“Fanny”..
The faggot president.
Few years back I was arguing (here at FR) with a Marine about how even the Marine Corps had degenerated.
He took great offense.
I posted that infamous pic of two Marines french kissing.
He took SERIOUS offense.
The Marines will soon be FORCED to cheat to get women into their combat ranks, at the risk of lives and limbs. Yeah, it’s that bad.
omama is intent on making a mockery out of everything that is good and decent in this country.
“Obama is Stupid. Obama is Lazy. Obama is Ignorant. Obama is Arrogant. Obama is full of in your face Mouth flapping”.
Can you imagine how much damage he’d be doing if he wasn’t those things?/s
Sorry but he’s dedicated and competent and never lets up.
Obama is far from Lazy and Ignorant.

The wedding is in June.
That’s partly it,
but I think there’s something more sinister.
He’s putting mentally ill, anti-Christian people in positions of authority in the US military,
people who will have no qualms with ordering force
to be used against “resistors” in America.
Fixed.
“...“gay pride” events were being celebrated around the globe, including in Afghanistan.”
What he failed to mention was that in Afghanistan, they were celebrating by burning them!
This is another step to insure that good, capable men and women don't join the Armed forces.
The retention rate for good people is going to sink.
“Mitch?”
It is hard to predict which GOP Senators will be the first to announce support for this nomination. Susan Collins, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Orrin Hatch, Lamar Alexander, Bob Corker, Lisa Murkowski, are all prime suspects.
Mitch isn’t going to do anything to stand in the way of this one.
The plan continues.
