He's never spent a day in the military. However, he is openly gay.

Full article (http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/07/08/fanning-favorite-to-become-army-secretary-and-first-gay-service.html?comp=7000023317843&rank=9)


Defense Secretary Ashton Carter last week named Eric Fanning as acting Army (http://www.military.com/army) undersecretary, making him the frontrunner to become Army Secretary and the first openly gay military service secretary.

In a statement last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter left little doubt that the 47-year-old Fanning, who now serves as Carter's chief of staff, would be recommended to President Obama for the nomination when current Army Secretary John McHugh retires in the fall.

Carter said that Fanning's "deep well of knowledge and vast experience in the Pentagon, honed during his tenure as deputy undersecretary of the Navy (http://www.military/navy) and acting secretary of the Air Force (http://www.military.com/air-force), have been crucial assets for my front office."

"He has also helped me build an outstanding team of civilian and military leaders across the Pentagon. Working with him closely over the last several months, I've seen first-hand why he is one of the most respected appointees in the Obama administration," Carter said.

Fanning, who was born in Michigan, does not have military service. In the 1990s, he was on the staff of the House Armed Services Committee and later served as associate director of political affairs in the administration of former President Bill Clinton.

Par for the course with these aholes. Politics and ideology trumps good policy, every time, ...in their eyes.

R won't necessarily solve it. We need good sense in the WH, but that is a MUCH taller order.
