Now I know Obama is out to totally destroy this country from within.

Look at the bright side - fighting Muslims just got, ummm, interesting...

That figures!

At least now the argument of which fire arms are best for the Army is over. Now it will be which purse is best. Camo high heels anyone?

Kinda gives new meaning to being on the Secretaries staff doesn't it...

I don't give a rat's a.s.s who any of you go home to. I'll offer this guy the same courtesy.

I'm sure it was purely a merit selection of the best qualified leader available with no intent to pander to any interest group.

Naturally. And since gays comprise about 2% of the general population, the odds of that perfect person for the job just happening to be openly gay are just amazing.

I dont see this thread going anywhere productive. I'll leave for now but have no expectations of anything good.

Don't see the issue/problem.

What could possibly go wrong?

It is interesting that there were no concerns about the direction of this thread as long as the opinions expressed were h.o.m.o.geneous.

I can't help but think what General George S. Patton would think about this? Or even Norman Schwarzkopf, Douglas McArthur or Grant, Sherman or Lee? It's no secret our top Generals have been getting fired lately, probably because they would squash any potential government takeover or dictatorship. This seems all part of some grand scheme.
