Obama nominates first openly gay military service chief

President Barack Obama is nominating longtime Pentagon official Eric Fanning to be the Army's new secretary. If confirmed, Fanning, a civilian, would be the nation's first openly gay leader of a military service.

The nomination comes at a time when the Obama administration is working to eliminate barriers to military service based on sexuality or gender. The “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that allowed homosexuals to serve in the military as long as they hid their sexuality was officially repealed during Obama’s first term. Gays are now allowed to openly serve.

In the meantime, women have been crossing traditional barriers in the military, as well. Two women competed for and earned their Army Ranger tabs this summer for the first time in history. On Friday, the Marines announced they would open armored units to women, but would seek to keep several front-line combat jobs – infantry and artillery -- closed, a senior military official told Fox News.That would buck the trend being followed by the other three military services.
Ladies and gentlemen, the "legacy" of Barack Hussein Obama.

And this is what I think of that ...

There are a lot of people who are at least as qualified, if not more highly qualified. No, it is because he is gay. Like it or not.

Yeah... I completely agree. If people here had to have emergency surgery, I really don't think they'd care if their doctor was gay. "Ohh you're going to remove this brain tumor? No thanks. You're gay. Give me the intern that isn't." The Obama hate is unreal.

As a former Army officer, I wou9ld want someone who had walked in my shoes running my branch of the military. The guy has never been in the service, is nothing more than an administrator, and has little expertise in what the Army needs at this time.

There are an incredible number of good civilian administrators out there -- civilian being the key for branch secretaries. Rarely has anyone ever taken such a post without having a minimum of service in a branch of the military. This is nothing more than an "in your face" to the senior officers who voiced opposition to the repeal of DADT.

Anyone with half a brain can see that Obama is trying to promote the gay agenda ...any Christian that would defend this nonsense is not a real believer in the moral standards of Christ.

What a knuckle-headed statement. He's not leading troops into battle. He's the chief administrator of the Army, pushing papers, executing policies, pushing the Obama agenda. Period.

Yes that is all that should matter is if he is qualified for the job !!!

The lifestyle is wrong but we are never told to keep people from jobs because of their lifestyle, that is discrimination and the bible is even against that.

Plus I don't approve of the lifestyle but not all gay men are feminine or girly, as I know a handful that are muscularly fit and others well trained in martial arts.

Dude, enough of your "promoting gay agenda" crap. If you're dying in the hospital, you'd be stupid to turn away the head doctor just because he was gay. You know it. I know it. Anyone with a brain here on CC knows it. I'm done talking of this subject with you.

Just another attempt to demoralize the US military.

The US military cannot perform it's job if it is staffed by people who are morally opposed to the expressed values of military service. Good moral character is necessary for men who are going to be called upon to defend this country against hostile enemies.

This makes the uber-liberals and left wing nut jobs happy. This also encourages our enemies. Just look at what happened in Iraq. A military of soldiers who were there only there for the money ran when faced by the enemy.

For the cause of Christ

You're equally clueless. This isn't about a gay man being in combat, or a "life-saving situation" and of course, I've no problem with a gay doctor, lesbian nurse, whatever.

What I object to is blatant political pandering, and that's all this is. Obama's trying to build street cred for the liberal/socialist agenda so the LGBTs will keep voting for Democrats. Try as you might, you can't try to spin it any way but how it is.

What is your proof for the part in bold ???

This article does not mention his service time as in training and such, but does say he has been in the political office roles since 1996, including under Ash Carter.

Of course its just another attempt to pervert our whole society with this gay agenda nonsense ...it has nothing to do with this guy being anything but a pervert ...and the folks on this forum who continually defend this sort of evil are in fact themselves partakers of this evil.
