President Obama has become one of the nation’s most successful commanders in chief when it comes to at least one battlefield: the liberal agenda.
In his final months in office, Mr. Obama is leaving a legacy of a more politically correct armed forces, with the top brass squarely behind him, save the Marine Corps.
Perhaps not since Harry S. Truman’s landmark 1948 order to racially integrate the military has a president unleashed his own collective social revolution on the Pentagon with such success. In the process, the building also has become one of the administration’s loudest voices on battling climate change, even as its ability to fight one major war on schedule is in doubt due to budget cuts.
The White House also has given the Defense Department a gun control mission. And the “white privilege” movement, in which speakers tell a negative history of the white race, sporadically has invaded some military units.
A recent snapshot of the U.S. Army: Its headquarters sent out a series of Twitter messages last week reminding soldiers to celebrate Earth Day, complete with a photo of a green-shaded globe. This was a few days after the Army announced it had selected a group of newly minted female officers to try out for armor and infantry jobs long closed to women until Mr. Obama interceded. The Army also said in budget documents that soldiers now have the right to “self-identify” who they are, an apparent reference to selecting a gender....

I will be so glad when Donald J. Trump moves into the White House and puts an end to this nonsense!
Completely agree.
Cruz SUCKS.
(can I say that here?)
I guess we’ll find out.
Yep keep voting #establishment frauds kasich & cruz whose ONLY JOB given them by their donor-owners is to stop Trump and make #HillaryForPrison president so she can finish off job community agitator didn’t get to finish. If we fall for this ruse and help these crooks stop Trump from presidency, we deserve everything obama/hillary are planning for our country.
In his retarded brain, I’ll bet the destruction of the U.S. military, something he has never served in, is one of his greatest accomplishments. Nobody was ever able to destroy it before. Just think, it was done by a little Kenyan pimp.
The military used to be a bastion of conservatism. Obama deliberately targeted it for conversion to left wing ideologies in order to destroy the conservative power base. This is what we need to do to education and other left wing power bases.
Meaning they have selectively fired anyone that opposes their agenda and cowed the remainder. Not something to be proud of.
...a president unleashed his own collective social revolution on the Pentagon with such success...
If you call this success. I call it an unmitigated disaster. The Military is not a social experiment, it is an instrument of national policy and violence.
...In the process, the building also has become one of the administration’s loudest voices on battling climate change, even as its ability to fight one major war on schedule is in doubt due to budget cuts...
But we'll be green, dolphin-friendly, and homo-accepting when we surrender! Seriously, how can anyone look at this and be proud of it?
The White House also has given the Defense Department a gun control mission. And the “white privilege” movement, in which speakers tell a negative history of the white race, sporadically has invaded some military units.
Just a disgusting dilution of the mission and clarity of purpose of the Military. Revolting.
...The Army also said in budget documents that soldiers now have the right to “self-identify” who they are, an apparent reference to selecting a gender....
In a first for me, every single person I've asked - current and former members of several branches - have stated not just no, but hell no in reference to serving with gays. That is the only issue I've ever found that Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps personnel agree on.
Puts an end to this nonsense???? Of all the Republican candidates, he’s the left wing social agenda promoter.
Cruz completely alienates democrats, and will lose BIG.
Complete wipe-out.
Cruz needs to stand down, and get behind Trump. Trump will win, bigtime.
Turnaround time for anything ‘government’ is glacial.
It’ll be generations before the entrenched Pentagon brass returns to sanity, and by that time the damage will have been done.
Homosexuals and transsgennders in the military, women in combat, environmentalism, Marxism, passivism, the Africanization of military society, the end of merit-based promotions in favor of political promotions, political orientation rather than combat preparedness - all will be taken for granted.
Meanwhile, North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, Cuba, the entire moslem world... they’re all sharpening the long knives and all will lay siege to what was once the American way of life.
A dark time is coming, and we haven’t even yet begun to see the beginning of it, let alone the end.
And all of it the legacy of this benighted and deeply ill president and his sycophantic administration.
Cfuz alienated the military by his govt shutdown antics.
It’s going to take ages to undo this mess.
What I am saying is Cruz will not win the general election.
He just won’t. Does not stand a single prayer. Not a chance. He has completely subverted the GOP primaries, but his massive vote-rigging scheme won’t stand a single chance at winning the general election. He is going to give the GOPe the nomination, they are going to lose (big) and Hillary will be the president.
Back off Cruz. Stand down, and support Trump who will actually win in the general election.
the good news is that the military will never become a fascist threat to the US public at large, since it is now on track to have the offensive capability roughly equivalent to a bunch of gay librarians... i can and will take care of myself and my loved ones, without help from the gay librarian be-all-you-can-be crowd, come what may...
thanks obama, and imho you need to suffer the fate you deserve for all this ...
Trump supports the troops and loves his country. Obama stuck as many sticks in our spokes as he could.
Trump knows how to get things done. He will repair the damage. Cruz can’t win. The GOP-e has shown that if it’s any trouble, they can’t be bothered.
So you can 86 that tired GOPe talking point.
At this point, you’re either on the bus, the ‘Make America Great Again’ express, or you’re not.
If you’re not, stop standing in the door and get the hell off.
I like Trump best by far, but has he said he will roll back any of this happening to the military? Women in combat units? trannys? green fuel? White privilege? Gun control?
Id like to think this is all common sense, but I have the feeling that anyone taking over wont walk in and fire the service chiefs, cancel the F-35, and make the military American again.
He set out to damage USA as much as possible and he’s done a damned ( word choice is intentional ) thorough job of it. If we can recover it will take tremendous effort over many years.
“CRUZ SUCKS”
As eloquent as the obamaphone lady
