What kind of leader wants a military more loyal to himself than to the rule of law?
And why?
These are two questions to ponder when considering the strange happenings in the armed forces since Barack Obama took office.
Let's start with a hypothetical. Let's say you were a hard-left-wing commander in chief who wanted the military firmly in your corner. You'd certainly note that our armed forces have been a bastion of conservatism and Christian faith, and you'd know that its members generally weren't very fond of you. So how would you go about changing this?
Some years ago I met a very young, all-American looking white fellow who had just exited the military. His reason was that he hadn't been advanced the way he believed he should have been, and he wasn't going to remain in the armed forces if it provided no future. Now, one interpretation here is that he was a millennial with an inflated opinion of himself (he didn't strike me that way, though). Yet there is another interpretation.
The Obama administration has given affirmative action in the military a dose of steroids, promoting minorities and women -- and, I believe, homosexuals and lesbians -- at the expense of white men. By the way, is this yet another reason why Obama wanted homosexuals to be able to serve openly? After all, you can't target them for special treatment if you don't know who they are.

First try not to laugh at a magazine that publishes this and uses "thinker" in it's title.
That said you wanna know what keeps the tea party up at night? The thought of an America of not overwhelmingly controlled white, Christian men. At the end the day that what the tea party freakout is all about. You got to wonder has the author even spent five minutes in a room with some who wasn't white or Christian?

This wasn't supposed to be known until January 2014, after the FEMA camps are full.

(4,840 posts)5. So everyone who is not white or Christian
should hide who they are to avoid the possibility of "special treatment."???
But, of course, there's no necessity to hide who you are if you are the right combination of characteristics and traits???

(50,562 posts)7. The "hard-left-wing commander in chief" thing is where you lost me, guys
And I don't know, but if this so-called "hard-left-wing commander in chief" wanted to win the hearts and minds of the troops, paying them enough that they didn't qualify for food stamps would be a pretty good start, and easier than creating the All Gay Army.
