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.

What can be done in 8 years, can be undone in 8 years.

Well Fanning, we can change that.

I am sure Trump is warning this up just for you.

Already got one, it's in Adak, Alaska. I had one old chief petty officer who threatened to have me transferred there more than once.

Great idea, BTW.

He [Fanning] 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.

Made decisions can be unmade.

Existing service people don't have to be "kicked out." Undoing some of the pansy regulations will probably provide motivation for them to leave on their own. Same as Criminal Aliens.

I think PTrump may act so swiftly on so many fronts that the media and government will not be able to keep up. Obama did something like this, but of course his people were purely ideological.

I wonder if Mr. Trump will have “czars.”

Part of it is that Obama has purged hundreds if not thousands of officers from the military for failing to enthusiastically implement his political correctness requirements.

I agree. Obama installed minions at every level and changed the culture in military organizations and government agencies. Trump can undo Obama’s damage, but it will be very hard to identify all the players unless trump just purges every civilian in the military and government hired after 2012. He can do it but it will be hard.

Denial is a river in Egypt. It will not be hard. all that Trump has to do is make a decree and its done. Faggy Fanning will be replaced by a seasoned and serious military minded professional.

This social crap in the Military can be changed as easily as uniforms, discharges for tattoos, discharge for weight standards that were not in place a year ago etc. Easy peasy!

And what exactly qualifies him to be the secretary of the Army other than being a homosexual...nothing, not a GD thing.

He will be replaced with a competent, qualified, field and battle tested American Patriot (I hope) someone who has real Army experience and can command respect from the troops, vice DEMAND respect from the troops — I am unapologetic about the fact that if you are a guy and you take it up the a$$ you will NEVER and I do mean NEVER gain my trust or respect, period, full stop!!!

“...the decisions the military has already made will make it more difficult to kick people out of the service...”

And, they will make it far more difficult to attract good, dedicated people to the service. PC ‘leaders’ with their snowflake minions cannot protect our republic. It takes hard, rough, men and women who will do whatever is necessary, without question - whatever that may be.
