Putin must be laughing his ass off.
Obama nominates openly gay civilian to lead U.S. Army
Former CBS News journalist Eric Fanning put forth for secretary of Army
WASHINGTON — U. S. President Barack Obama on Friday nominated an openly gay civilian to head the Army, a first for such a job at the Pentagon.
Obama nominated Eric Fanning to be the next secretary of the Army, as the service faces a variety of budgetary, operational and social issues. Fanning has held a number of top Pentagon positions, including most recently as chief of staff to Defense Secretary Ash Carter.
Fanning, a former journalist for CBS News, has been serving in an acting role as undersecretary of the Army since June. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he would replace John McHugh, a former Republican congressman from New York, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
Obama said Fanning brings “many years of proven experience and exceptional leadership” to the role. “I am grateful for his commitment to our men and women in uniform, and I am confident he will help lead America’s Soldiers with distinction,” he said.
Fanning’s success in being confirmed is unclear. Although it is unlikely senators will object to his qualifications or to him personally, many top Obama nominations for Pentagon and other government posts have been held up by the Republican-controlled as the end of Obama’s second administration nears its final year.
Did you mention the lipstick to protect against chapped lips?

Typical but it probably has hit the satin ceiling because it is not Black, female or transgender.
Sooooo, some fag “journalist” is going to be Sec Army because of (ahem *cough*) “many years of proven experience and exceptional leadership” to the role”?
Jeebus Khrist…. just sitting here shaking my head…
On one hand, watching our country self-destruct in realtime is depressing…
On the other, when shit goes airborne, the “military” will be that much more ineffective thanks to the shitbags who’re implementing this sort of clusterfuckery…
So there’s that…
Billy don’t fret there’s a backlash from hell on its way.
I don’t really have a problem with gays. I mean there are no doubt gay doctors, nurses, first responders, teachers, car mechanics, firemen, police, athletes, business leaders, etc etc.
I just hope Fanning doesn’t attempt to alter the requirements or standards to enlist in the Army just so a homosexual can be all that they can be.
It a Damn national disgrace . He has no qualifying experience at all.He was selected because he is a faggot just like Obama.
Our country is lost.
You should prepare yourself for whatever -or whoever- comes next.
Wait, why the hell is everyone upset about him being gay? I’m bothered by the fact that he has no actual military experience, particularly combat experience. I far as his involvement goes, according to wikipedia he’s basically been a committee yes-man most of his life. A well-trained dog could probably match him.
Is Reggie jealous of this new guy in Oreo’s life……..Eric Fanning?
This guy Fanning is a civilian, what if he doesn’t know Jack about the running of our military, he could make some grievous mistakes that could affect us all. As if there is not enough doom porn to deal with now we have a flamer non-military running things.
Up next, Boy George and Tiny Tim to run naval affairs. Jeebus H. Krist can it get any worse?
Sensetti, I agree, the backlash to all this shit is going to be epic. I wonder what obanana will out himself on once he gets out of office. I seriously doubt he is going to want to hold on to christian heterosexual man. Just a hunch.
Bam Bam ,what is it that excites you about screwing another man in the ass.?How do you get to point in your mind that homosexual behavior is ok or normal ?God calls homosexuality an abomination , Religions world wide frown upon it , Societies world over condemn this behavior but somehow you think it’s ok.
Don’t give any bullshit about being born that way.Isn’t it strange that you and a few elites seem to be the only ones who approve of your lifestyle.
bb,
Societies round the world would also provide euthanasia for retards, but you seem to have gotten around that tradition just fine.
Greetings,
This makes total f*cking sense. Stalin, too, was tricked into destroying the leadership of his military just prior to Hitler’s onslaught. After all, war isn’t just fought on the battlefield. As a matter of fact, the battlefield is where the final drama unfolds but the war begins in many other ways.
This is a big victory for Russia and China. We no longer manufacture and we still import nearly 1/2 of the energy we consume. The only thing going for us at this moment is a military that we’ve been told is the best in the universe. Take away our military and we have nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch.
Thank goodness my father (32 years in the Army infantry- WWII and Korea) didn’t have to see this. Hell, he thought that parts of the military was getting pussified when he was in….and he retired in 1969!
All I picture is a fantasy scene of the ramp of a landing craft dropping at Iwo Jima in February ’45 and out saunters a collection of women, queers, muslims, Hindu Indians, Brazilians, Africans, transgenders and one White straight guy. The Japanese would probably die laughing, after they gunned them all down.
Two things separate an army from a mob; discipline and morale. From what I’ve gleened from the comments on various military websites, morale is at just about zero. But it’s all good. If this is what’s facing the militias after things get sporty, they got no worries.
I feel so safe now.

LMFAO at the repost picture of the pink Colonel. Has anybody paid any attention to the bullshit military propaganda that’s been in the movies and tv lately? The Russians should be terrified. Our guys and gals in uniform are practically invincible. Of course I grew up on a diet of WW2 where the allies were always good and heroic as opposed to those evil bloodthirsty Nazis. After that I grew up then woke up. It`s all been a g-ddamn lie. If anybody has the chance to read Gen. Pattons` personal letters you will see where he realized(too late) what a mistake we had made and his involvement in it. Then he had a fender bender that killed him.
I`m going off topic better quit.
