Obummer is out to tear down every institution and tradition we have. He want's to destroy America. That's his goal. If Fanning got the job soley on his merit, then that's all well and good, but I smell a rat here. I think his only reason for choosing the guy is because he is gay instead of his knowing anything about what he's doing.

I don't pretend to know if the man is a good choice or not - I hope he is! But I sure don't like "affirmative action" type PCBS.
I'm beginning to think it's time to "trim the tree"- - - - -take a chainsaw to the dead wood at the top, politically and militarily.

Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.
:that: :agree:
Although, TBH I wasn't entirely happy about our current SecArmy John McHugh either. He graduated HS in 1966 not long after the US got into Vietnam. But somehow he avoided the draft and went directly to college, graduating from Utica in 1970, and then enrolling in SUNY in 1974.
Sorry, but I believe that anyone in any a command position over our military should have served at least a minimum enlistment in uniform, so they have some idea what it is they're in charge of.

Ya THINK!! When has this clown filled any position with someone who was qualified??!!
In my opinion, that requirement should include the Commander-In-Chief!

Gunner, that somehow he avoided the draft was because it sounds like he did it lawfully. If you went right into College, made good grades, and didn't do as your's truly and lay out a couple semesters because you loved your work, you were a different classification, damn the name fails me, and you were exempt from the draft until you either graduated or flunked out or got kicked out of college. Lots of guys did that and enlisted or got drafted right after they graduated. Sounds like that's what McHugh did. And he was probably much better prepared to go in later when he did.

Well hell, that's an easy one to answer. Obummer, who can't read except with his tellaprompter, mistook "Career Experienced" (Get ready for this, Drum Roll please) for "Queer Experience!"

I have no idea if Fanning is capable or not, but I suspect this is far more for political reasons, than for capability. I really don't care if he is gay, but I suspect the President does. I hope I am wrong.
I concur...and who he or she sleeps with is none of my concern.
I agree wholly. What I said above referred to more Obama's reason for promoting him. I suspect, as Tuba so aptly put it that Obummer's decision was more politically motivated than for Fanning's expertise. I have no clue of Fanning's abilities. He may very well be the best man for the job. But Obama is not usually motivated by a person's expertise but rather the direction of his agenda and the political wind.
I think that's what most everybody here is getting at.
There is no telling who all is gay in Washington or anywhere. And I don't care, as long as they don't push their life style on me or have an opportunity to push it on my kids or grand kids. I just don't want anybody getting picked for a position just because he's/she's gay or anything. That's just pushing an agenda and that's all Obummer is about.

I was in PLC at Quantico for summer training for the first one and the third time I was already in Vietnam.
I got the college deferment and went to school for 2 years and never heard from them until I didn't go back to school in the fall of 69. Then I got called up for my physical. What years did you go to College? Maybe that was the difference.

Why would anyone with a shred of common sense commit to a military lifestyle when the incompetent fools running the show have no credibility, and are serial liars to boot? It's one thing to have the patriotism and willingness to endure the hardships of deployment and risk injury or death in the hellholes of the world when our military people can believe the country and the politicians have their backs. It's quite a different story when the "president" has a member of his security detail holding an umbrella to keep his nappy head from getting wet! Disgusting!

I didn't reenlist because of the 'social experimenting' in the Navy after Vietnam and end of the draft. Women were recruited in large numbers and filled all the shore billets available. Since the WAVEs didn't have to deploy at sea there was no way for the normal sea/shore duty rotation to occur. If you were male, you'd spend your entire career at sea while the females stayed ashore. And then there was that CRAP having to do with promotion; females got an extra boatload of points just for being female. Took me three whacks at E-4 exam to make it because of that feces. And going from E-4 to E-5 would have taken about 6 years because of all the females being fast tracked on promotion. Screw that! I bugged out when my enlistment, and extension, was over. And I wasn't the only one. Navy lost a lot of seagoing sailors the next few years. Good thing the Navy was downsizing at the time, because we were already running WAY below normal personnel levels aboard ship when I left.

Well written article and right on point as well....
Yep, you were 7 years ahead of me. That probably had something to do with why I never heard from them until I laid out of college and lost my temporary college deferment.
But they didn't waste any time when I laid out. As soon as my name didn't show on a college roll, I was dead meat. Bingo, we gotcha!!! Hehehehe!
