It'll be "very hard" for President-elect Trump to undo many of the social changes President Obama implemented in the military should he decide to do so, the Army secretary said on Thursday.
Eric Fanning acknowledged that the path to social change over the course of history "has never been purely linear."
"But I do think it's very hard to roll things back completely," Fanning said at the Defense One Summit in Washington. "Society is changing very quickly."
He also said the decisions the military has already made will make it more difficult to kick people out of the service who have already been accepted.

No, society is not changing. Your little social engineering experiment is about to end. Adults will be back in charge very shortly.

It starts by banning open homosexuals in the military.
You may have a right to do whatever you want, but you don't have a right to do it in the military.

I’d like to see him say that in person to his future Commander-in-Chief.

Really? God gave the Ten Commandments and people break them every day. Don’t tell me Obama has more power than God.

Any deals built by backroom deals can be unwound, more quickly or not, when the new sheriff gets into town.
If there is excessive resistance, than RICO statutes may apply.

Not everybody will be kicked out.
Women in Combat Arms will reclass.
Transsexuals can be kicked out. They are such a small part of the population that they can be separated and nobody would miss them.

He could roll back MOST of the social changes by simply changing the physical requirements.

No, society is not changing. Your little social engineering experiment is about to end. Adults will be back in charge very shortly. And then they need to start the purges of every military officer that put their own careers ahead of the good of the service. Every officer who did not offer to resign rather than implement idiot kooky social experiments, needs to be cashiered.

Exactly. This fag will be fired eventually and so will the rest of his snowflake staff and policies. I would volunteer for the Trump admin just to do this job of firing this puke.
