First thing Trump should do with the US military is rehire all of top brass who the obozo fired and the 2nd thing is to fire all those top brass who kissed the obozo’s ass and betrayed their oath to put country first by doing what obozo told them and made the US military a social experiment

Unless it’s been changed, simply enforce the UCMJ. Homosexual BEHAVIOR is forbidden, not merely being a homosexual.

Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice is still in effect. Article 125 makes it a criminal offense to “engage in unnatural carnal copulation” with “another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal.”

I’d go see this schmuck and slap him across the face the way Patton did.

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.

Every time I see them in Chick-fil-A, Roy Rogers or Jersey Mikes dressed like that, I want to ask them how it's going on the front or if they are off to battle after they have lunch. We were NEVER allowed to wear that uniform off base unless coming from or going home.

I was wondering about the air force too. I know the Army and Navy wear their camos out in public, and the Navy now has blue camos for some reason, but I don’t think I have seen the Air Force.

Hopefully once the adults are put back in charge the military can go back to being a fighting unit, not some pansy , fairy, social justice, protect the world, issue out Aid force.

My son is out on the West coast right now, but waiting to finish his degree in order to get to OCS at Quantico .

At Camp Geiger where they do their MCT my son said they had some women ,and most were just nasty, and most were drama queens, and all but two could not even carry their weight.
The two which could were caring for the first two miles and then their backpacks were put int he wagon following, and the women were allowed to hike in with just their weapon.

Most men were so disgusted at them, but of course a few men were just flirting, and not taking anything serious .

These were the same guys which should never have graduated Parris Island , as they could not swim , or past the swim test.

Same as me. I always see the National guard in Chic-fil-A, but the worst was the neighbor around the corner who joined the NG for the benefits, and just wears his uniform to get his discounts from places like Chic-fil -A .

We were never allowed to wear our uniforms when leaving camp, as there is no need too.

I am glad I am not the only one who feels asking that question too.

Eric Fanning should start looking for a new job immediately.

all trump has to do is cite the INCREASE in gay rapes since don’t ask don’t tell was repealed, and since transsexuals were allowed to serve openly- and make the statement “You tried and failed- Your little social experiment put GOOD Men and women at risk of irreversible harm- and many are now suffering having been raped that would not have been raped before the ban was lifted- Game over- Experiment over! My job is to make men and women safer, not put them at greater risk like your pathetic failed social experiment did!”

Trump will be the Commander in Chief. If there is is ANY part of the government which he can change, the military is on the top of the list.

If it’s not Congressional Legislation, then it can be changed with a simple order.

When women are forced to meet the qualifications, they will either be removed or will quit

The military is not an element of social change

Men and women do not bunk together, nor do they share the same showers, and yet these perverts like Fanning think it is alright to have homosexuals share showers, and bunks with those who they want sex with. sickos

The unacceptable aspect of gays in the military, comes from the fact that your superior officer, in time of combat, holds your life in his hands. Imagine your superior officer wanting you to give him a blowjob.

yuck or how about the homosecual officer who fancies the young recruit, and orders you on point instead, so as not to let the recruit be harmed.

That’s a neat but false story. Indeed the Army introduced a stress management card in BCT about 15 years ago, along with BRM, Drill and Ceremony etc.

The idea that trainees are given a “time out” is pure fabrication.

Anyhow, how would your USMC son know what the Army issues to trainees or does in BCT?

Sorry....

There are all kinds of legal protection involved that will override whatever the CIC can do pertaining to homosexuals in the military (If your post is alluding to this). Congress writes/rescinds the law, Executive is to enforce the law. A CiC can take it to the edge, but in this case I am leaning towards the status quo being maintained. Hope I am wrong though.
