Army secretary: Obama's social changes are here to stay

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.

who have already been accepted

They have never been "accepted". They have been forced upon the service.

Since POTUS is CIC of the Armed Forces, lawless Obama has already proven that all that Trump needs to make social changes in Army is a pen and a phone.

Fanning: Just watch. As DJT says, it “will be so fast your head will spin!”.

A major part of the problem is that in the defense of America, her people & interests, we have been sabotaged over the past 24 years by policies that put bizarre social agendas ahead of the actual needs of our military.

The "Secretary" apparently falls into the category of those doing the sabotaging.

Another difference is that the Marine Corps will not allow Marines to ever wear their camo’s outside of base while other branches do, because the Corps believes once you leave camp in uniform you should look professional at all times and that is why they always wear their blues uniform.

The Air force used to be the same way but now they can even wear their cammies while flying commercial. Disgusting.

In my dream, Trump has a complete unit of brilliant men whose sole job is to pursue the previous administartion’s lawless tribe and efficiently and MERCILESSLY prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law (in some cases moderated...if they SING!). They CANNOT be allowed to sail off into the sunset.

This idiot never served a single day as either an enlisted man or an officer in any branch of service.... added to the fact that he’s the first openly gay faggot to be appointed head of one of our military forces, his very quick departure in the the land of rainbows should signal an end to this nonsense.

The “Eternal Flame” on John Kennedy’s grave was put out
a few days after it was lighted.

My oldest is in the Marine Corps, and he said all Marines, not just most, but all are loving it when Trump takes over, and can;t wait for obama to leave.

I live right next to Quantico MCB and I know the current companies training at The Basic School, TBS, have openly homosexual females attending. I have seen several of them and they do not have the physical aptitude to complete TBS but they will be allowed to graduate. One of the Lieutenants is about 5' and 95lbs and dragged her "wife" here with herself.

We know they will all litigate, in military court.
I think before he moves in this area, the first thing he will want to do is make sure the military judges are patriots. Once his people are in place, from top down, he will be free to restore our once great military to its former greatness.

It won’t be hard with ninetyfour million working age people not working.

Seven and four tenths of a percent of the population are veterans.

Grab the required number of not working veterans and train them to fill the slots.

All Trump needs to do is purge the military of the liberal freaks that Obama placed there after Obama purged the best of the best Generals and officers. Restore the military to what it should be. Put our best men back into the positions they had before Obama. The US military is no place for a liberal experiment in depravity.

And of course, since social change in the Army cannot be too different from whence the Army recruits, the Army is going to be used as a laboratory to impose its standards on the rest of us, an untenable situation.

FU FEDS. STATE CONFEDERATIVE RIGHTS NOW!!!

I personally would not wish this on Alaska, unless this “base” would be on some small ice floe drifting towards Russia.
