The Pentagon has been stripped of almost all of its political appointees from the Obama administration, but an uncertain Senate future awaits the candidates whom President Trump will nominate to remake the armed forces in his image.

The Obama appointees are bacteria, slugs, and parasites, and they need to be purged.

Take Eric "Fag" Fanning. Obama appointed him as acting Secretary of the Air Force and then Secretary of the Army. His only "qualification" for either job as that he was a flaming homosexual.

Eric Fanning, 4th from the left, snuggling his "partner."

The only thing these people did was destroy, persecute our Christian men and women in uniform, and serve their own inflated egos.

It's a good thing... wish ALL Obama people would leave their jobs ... and Washington.

Most Navy ships are in need of repair and no parts or so I hear. What do Freepers hear from military friends or associates?

Obama and Kerry (with the aid of the RATs and RINOs in Congress) were too busy arming Iran to give a damn about the US military readiness.

And the problem who’s this is? It’s a self draining swamp.

Wow, a self-draining swamp; it just doesn’t get any better than this!

And I see zero uncertainty regarding replacements, in fact, I see the opposite: absolute certainty that President Trump’s appointees will sail through the Senate once they’ve been endorsed by SecDef General Mattis.

“Guess I ought to punch up my resume, eh?”

Go ahead. Make sure the Objective’ on top of the resume says “I hate ISIS AND HOPE THEY DIE”. I’m sure with Trump’s hiring guys, you’re a shoo-in.

I can see where you are coming from, I know a bunch of idiot O5s that never should have attained the grade. Which is why I stated “high powered” in my response.

But the reason I said O5s was most O6s I encountered were political animals, same for the Flags.

I am glad to see this story on Free Republic and I imagine many others are too.

It’s not as easy as you seem to think.

The republicans and the Trump team will have to fight tooth and nail to quell a great number of those in congress from being successful with their stonewalling.

The republican Conservative politicians need to man up and fight the dems using their own cutthroat tactics

Any and all fraud, sedition, and treason committed by these almost assuredly anti-American Obama appointments must be investigated and broadcasted across America, and real justice carried out!

They might be perfect appointments to high level positions in DoD where they can spend most of their time on removal and replacement.
