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.

Trump should offer a lottery—the winner gets to fire this clown.

Yes, it could take up to two weeks for President Trump to sort this out.

As horrifying as it has been to watch Obama run roughshod over our social order and especially our military using Executive Orders and bureaucratic regulations the one saving grace is that a new executive can just as easily un-do it all.

If Obozo had bothered to pass actual laws it could have taken months for Trump to straighten things out.

I’ve got an idea: Build a HUUUUUGE military base in the coldest part of Alaska....everyone needing “special attention” gets to serve there or go home.

It would be very easy to roll things back completely, just one stroke of the pin.

Nothing is set in stone!!!!

The CIC Donald Trump will make that determination Mr. Fanning, and not you, an appointee of the previous president.

Fanning do one now, before you are fired.

Social changes if you want that should have been left to the Generals of the branches, which means the Marine Corps where one of my sons is right now would not have to put up with stupid sissy crap like affirmative action classes, sexual discrimination classes while he was in boot camp.

The Drill Instructors there are told not to swear at recruits, yea right like that is listened too, so you see the real men in the Marine Corps are saying to you Fanning and you social justice fairies that you can all piss off.

Homosexuals/Trannies will most likely continue to serve openly (Congress would need to get involved, not as simple as people think).

Not sure about women in combat roles though, that can change via the Administration.

Duncan Hunter as SecNav, Allen West as SecArmy. Peter Pace as SECDEF (the Chairman who was ran out of town when he opined homosexuality was a mental issue).

Sit back and watch the BS evaporate.

“”But I do think it’s very hard to roll things back completely,” Fanning said at the Defense One Summit in Washington.”

I guess it depends on your understanding of the word “completely!”

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. sicko;s

No they aren’t.

It’s crazy to even say such a thing. Societies change.

It’s like an ‘eternal flame’ on someone’s grave. Hardly. Check back in just 100 years and see if it’s still lit. Most won’t be.

EXACTLY

Make the same physical requirements for all branches , and you watch that the social changes will fall apart.
Let drill instructors do their job.
Did you know the Army not Marines get given a stress card to use, and when they are feeling stressed in boot camp they produce this card, and are given a couple of hours I think it is to relax?

Yes my Marine son the Marines make fun of the Army for that too.

I have a feeling that once Fanning’s Obama-appointed-arse is frog-marched out the door, his “social policies” won’t be too far behind.

The majority of military folks are still normal.

All the officers which were given promotion , and put in charge based on being a homosexual, or a kiss ass needs to be booted out , or reassigned to the worst assignment possible.
