President Barack Obama is nominating longtime Pentagon official Eric Fanning to be the Army’s new secretary. If confirmed, Fanning would be the nation’s first openly gay leader of a military service. Obama says Fanning brings years of experience and leadership to the role. He says in a statement that he’s confident Fanning will lead U.S. soldiers with distinction. Fanning is currently the Army’s acting under secretary and has served as the Air Force’s acting secretary and chief of staff to the Defense secretary. The nomination comes as the Obama administration works to eliminate barriers to military service based on sexuality or gender. Fanning’s nomination must be confirmed by the Senate. He would replace John McHugh, who has said he plans to step down no later than November 1.

I knew something was odd when I saw his photo because he isn't black. Then I discovered he is a happy homosexual. Which explains why Bathhouse Barry likes him so much. We live in a really strange world when the top man in the Army has never served a day in the army,but is "highly qualified" because he is a homosexual.
Not to worry. The Army secretariat is toothless. Has been since the Clinton years. The current CSA will use this Secretary like all the rest...as a heat shield with Congress. If the new Secretary tries to flex his muscles, the CSA will stop inviting him to meetings. That's how hardball is played in the "five sided" palace. I don't see Milley taking warm showers with this guy.
Which they will use to get rid of Milley and install someone "more on board" with their views/plans...
