New Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has chosen former acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning to become his chief of staff and the first openly gay man to hold the post.

Fanning, currently the Air Force undersecretary, was a key member of the transition team along with Army Maj. Gen. Ron Davis that guided Carter through his Senate confirmation hearings to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

As chief of staff, Fanning will have major sway over Carter's schedule and access to his office. Davis was expected to become military adviser to Carter.

No Patriot would ever serve in the administration of this current swine.

What I’m curious about is what happens when the Gay Marines meet ISIS.

If you are not a transgendered queer or a gutless, politically correct quisling interested only in reaping big retirement perks, you need not apply.

Bill Ayers said that 25 million who would not “get with the program” would die in the camps.
If CW II happens, I think the overall casualty count would be on the order of 50 million. And I can see Obama ordering Texas cities to get nuked.

God bless....and, thank you for your service. I echo the sentiment that it’s an honor to have you here.

All I can say to this report is ..... Lord, help us and our brave troops.

God has ways of forcing awareness of the need for this upon a people. The awkward and unseemly situation that the USA is in right now could be one of those ways.

The point is, we can’t just get mad at the gays and think that solves our problems towards God. We need to learn to refuse the demons that have enticed us to be embracing hell. And quite possibly in the process, a lot of gays will be saved. God is that way. The gospel is a whosoever gospel.

“No Patriot would ever serve in the administration of this current swine.”

Exactly! There must be some descent people caught up in this like the guys that fly AF One. I often wonder why they have not resigned. Let bojangels, moshelle and holder figure out how to fly themselves around.

Obama continues to destroy our military while converting it into Barry's Gay Bathhouse.

We're f*cked as long as this queer is in office.

So glad I am retired! It seems the younger generation is ok with this open acceptance of homosexuality. It saddens me deeply but i think this issue and everything else happening now is part of the horrible things that happen as we get into the end times. Lord please come soon!

When fanning was appointed as acting secretary of the AF he was asked what his top priority was.

You would think maintaining air superiority over Russia and China or enhancing CAS.

But no, this little flamer's top priority was to make sure that deviant homosexuals felt comfortable in the AF.

So, now it's more important to choose officials in order to fill categorical agendas, not choose them by virtue of their superior qualifications. "Let's see, we need a dogcatcher. She must be black, Hispanic-surnamed, gay and transgender. Oh, if she has any administrative skills, so much the better!"

What an express lane to failure and national collapse. And how ridiculously STUPID. Right up the libtards' alley.

They are leading us to FAIL status as fast as they can drag us. When is enough enough?
