The Pentagon could be poised for a rapid about-face under the Trump administration, with the Obama administration's push for social reform surrendering to what could be an old-school emphasis on combat readiness and the spirit of the United States military, experts told FoxNews.com.
Under President Obama, the military sought to integrate transgender persons into the ranks, allow women into special operations forces and purge the nomenclature of gender-specific words, adopting what some critics say was a "politically correct" liberal agenda. That's a contrast to the traditional U.S. military approach.
In addition, some Navy ships have been named for civil rights activists. And while the Obama administration has taken an inclusive approach on some issues, it has also worked to minimize expressions of Christianity in the ranks. For example, several officers have been disciplined for displaying Bibles or gospel verses in their quarters.
Veterans and military experts told FoxNews.com that, while some of Obama's civil rights advancements may be locked in, neither Trump nor his choice for secretary of defense, Gen. James "Mad Dog" Mattis, are likely to make social experimentation a priority.

You've been reading to much MSM. Every day, I look in my news feeds, and some fuckwad is declaring that nazism has won in America, because Trump won the election. Step away from the propaganda, son.

No, no. Trump is a shitty pseudofascist, and that reeked from 2015 and only someone who's never studied anything about fascism would fail to recognize that. He's not really a nazi.
But I am saying based on the things you personally have said, you're a nazi who doesn't deserve polite debate, but probably a bullet in the head. There are no good nazis, and you really aren't a good person and fuck you for who you are, you nazi shitstain.

I hear the pot calling the bone china black . . . . .
Stated another way, you are projecting.

No, it's pretty much just Nazis.
The rest of us aren't vile monsters for the sake of preserving an imagined past.

Nope, not projection. What you are witnessing is anger resulting in overblown statements. Runaway, you often have decent points but you really are deep into the conservative propaganda. Its up to every fish to realize they're in a bowl, so until you can realize that (and all the anger you get directed your way should paint you some clues...) you'll just keep getting yelled at while you cruise along thinking everyone else is a punk kid that doesn't know any better. Old people stuck in their ways are the WORST, at least have the decency to attempt self-reflection because at your age its about time.
