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.

> Stop paying those women for having babies.
You are delusional.
Half the people on welfare are the working poor.
In even the most expensive areas welfare maxes out at $600/month no matter how many children you've got.
The reason mothers are having kids out of wedlock is not about the financial incentives to have children, its about the costs of getting married. People can't afford shotgun weddings anymore.
If you want people to stop having kids out of wedlock, then support planned parenthood. Their contraceptive programs prevent half a million unplanned pregnancies a year. No other group is anywhere near as effective. And do not give me any of your hypocritical god shit. Your church supported full abortion rights until at least 1976.
