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.

That is some funny shit, Azuma. "We gotta tolerate Muslims, as well as any kind of minority, but we can't tolerate any kind of conservative views." Please, just stop the hypocrisy.
"Joseph Heller was right: turning everything backwards and inside out and perverting it into a mockery of itself requires no brains at all, just no character."
You have just described the democrat party approach to almost everything.
Speaking of funny - did you catch that bit about George Soros losing a billion dollars because he bet against America, and Trump? I hope the queer rotten bastard loses the rest of his money the same way. And, I hope that losing all his money causes him to have a stroke. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/12/billionaire-george-soros-reportedly-lost-nearly-1-billion-during-trump-rally.html [cnbc.com]
Imagine that - the stock markets rallied after Trump was elected. (Gomer Pyle voice) "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"

What the ever-loving fuck makes you think I tolerate Islam? Have you NOT been seeing the posts where apparently I step on peoples' toes and get bitched out for "sucking at math" and "being an Islamofoe?"
You're fucking deranged, Runaway. Sit down, shut up, medicate yourself with a fifth of Jack, and calm down before what I will charitably call your heart explodes.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
