Obama Nominates Openly Gay Civilian Secretary to Head Up US Army
It isn’t about what is good for the country, or the military… it is about what is good for Obama’s legacy. This is completely consistent with what a narcissist would do. He has two objectives for his legacy… raising a generation who will adore him and doing deeds that they will adore.
From the Washington Post:
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.
Fanning’s nomination, which must go to the Senate for confirmation, reflects a major shift for the Pentagon, which only four years ago prevented openly gay troops from serving in the military. The policy didn’t extend to civilian leaders, such as Fanning.
The Army, which swelled to about 570,000 active-duty troops during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, has shed about 80,000 soldiers in recent years and plans to cut 40,000 more over the next few years. The planned cuts would shrink the service to its smallest size of the post-World War II era.
By all accounts, Fanning has a great deal of experience and I don’t think Congress cares one way or the other whether he is gay or straight. But I think Obama is using it as a political message.
