Why has our military become ground zero for social experiments?

Yes, the current administration certainly has been ground zero for social experiments: expanding the role of women in the military to the extreme; embracing same sex relationships then marriage but not changing the UCMJ to remove sodomy as a crime; embracing transgender people, nominating an openly homosexual person to the next Secretary of the Army, etc.

I certainly agree with you our military it seems under this administration are being treated like test gerbils. Now if you look at Fannings record he certainly seems qualified for the job, him being gay shouldn't have been announced as it plays no part in his ability to do his job.

What difference does it make that he's gay? He's proven he can do the job. But someone has to be first. And when someone is the first, there is always controversy surrounding that person. Look at our first black woman Supreme Court Justice. So many people were against Biden appointing someone to the position for being black and female. But when would it have happened otherwise? If someone doesn't make the change they want to see in the world, then nothing ever changes. These aren't experiments. They are making opportunities for future generations. They are making it possible to one day not even think about someone's race, gender, sexual identity, etc. when appointing them to important positions. That day is not today, but maybe it will be tomorrow. One can only hope.
