Obama nomination to be next Secretary of the Army. Seems qualified on paper, but I wanted to get a sense of this from those of you that currently serve.

LINK

quote:

President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services.

quote:

Fanning, who must still be confirmed by the Senate, has been a specialist on defense and national security issues for more than 25 years in Congress and the Pentagon. As Army secretary, he would be partnered with Gen. Mark Milley, who took over as the Army’s top general in August. Together the two men would assume responsibility for the Pentagon’s largest and most troubled service.

quote:

Much of Fanning’s time in the Pentagon has been overseeing massive ship and aircraft programs. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter tapped Fanning last year to oversee his transition team as he moved into the Pentagon’s top job.

Fanning served briefly as acting Air Force secretary and has been acting undersecretary of the Army since June 2015.

Obama is just trolling the American people now. He has a year left to laugh in our face for being dumb enough to elect him so he is just going to make the best out of it.

Appears to be a logical next step if his performance was good

He and Ray Mabus can have their own Army-Navy gay-me.

At least he's openly gay.

Closeted homosexuals are the worst.
