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.

Feelings hurt? Please - you over estimate your importance and influence. I simply don't give two shits what you think of me. I heard you crying for an opportunity to rationalize your own hatred. It seems that you're going to waste the opportunity. Speak now or forever suffer in silence.

And yet you made this thread all about you first chance you got and then you did nothing but respond to the parts where I fucked with you for like 6 posts now.
You are easily the most insecure person on this site.

And, there you have it folks - AC admits to being a troll. Except, AC actually has an identity, but we're not supposed to know that.

Indeed. Once you made that plantation crack and revealed yourself as having no interest in honest debate you invited trolling.
Don't like it? Don't start it.
