The title of Admiral goes woke
American Thinker ^ | 26 Oct, 2021 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

What happens when a man dressed as a woman, not even a combat veteran, is made the first female 4-star admiral? He denies a real woman the honor.

What happens when a boy running as a girl beats a girl in a track and field tournament? Well, a boy denies a girl a trophy or in some cases a scholarship. I remember when boys denying girls trophies was called sexism or some other -ism. Wasn't promoting girls' sports the objective of Title 9? I guess that no one thought about woke back then.

What happens when a man dressed as a woman is made the first female 4-star admiral? He denies a real woman the honor.

What happens when the members of the armed forces see this? They may not see it the same way they do at MSNBC. After all, an admiral is a title usually reserved for people who've accomplished serious things serving the country. It's something you earn, not something to pander to the left constantly growing impatient with the Biden administration. I remember when admirals commanded sailors, submarines, and ships.

Should not have been appointed above Rear Admiral rank, for obvious reasons.

Actually, there is an error here.

He/she/it/thing/whatever is not the first female four star admiral. That goes to a female named Michelle Howard who was an Affirmative Action promotion by Obama over at least half a dozen or dozen other better qualified candidates because she was black, and because she was female.

He/she/it/thing/whatever is the first He/she/it/thing/whatever four star admiral.

It has been told that Caligula made his favorite horse a consul. While the story may not be true it did reflect on the man that the story could be told and retold. When historians wonder why he would do such a thing (besides being mentally ill) and he could, he would have done it to humiliate the Rome Senators.

“But what if Caligula actually did plot to create Rome’s first equine official? According to historian Aloys Winterling, author of “Caligula: A Biography” (2011), insanity isn’t the only logical explanation for such behavior. In his book, Winterling makes the case that many of the emperor’s wackier stunts, including his treatment of Incitatus, were designed to insult and humiliate senators and other elites. By bestowing a high public office on his horse, then, Caligula aimed to show his underlings that their work was so meaningless an animal could do it.”

The left are doing what they are doing to humiliate our military and by extension the American people.

And possibly an invitation to our enemies?

The title of Admiral goes joke. Democrats are a failed people.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the movement for transgender acceptance “a crime against humanity” in a Thursday speech.

Putin, speaking at the annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, the city that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics, said that to have children “taught that a boy can become a girl and vice versa” is “on the verge of a crime against humanity,” The Washington Post reports. He claimed supporters of transgender rights are pushing for an end to “basic things such as mother, father, family or gender differences.”

He called on his country, which is notorious for its persecution of LGBTQ+ people, to reject what he referred to as Western values. Russia should maintain its “spiritual values and historical traditions,” and avoid the “sociocultural disturbances” of the West.

Putin also railed against so-called cancel culture. Some in the West think “the aggressive deletion of whole pages of their own history, reverse discrimination against the majority in the interests of minorities … constitute movement toward public renewal,” he said. “It’s their right, but we are asking them to steer clear of our home. We have a different viewpoint.”

I agree with Putin on this issue. Wokeism is a crime against humanity.

No way around it; it’s just plain wrong on every level.

While I have a measure of sympathy for those who truly feel they are trapped in the wrong gender body; it doesn’t change the fact they are mentally ill. Most are just whackadoo though. Attention seeking weirdos.

He has a mental disorder that makes him think he is somehow a woman. I don’t think anyone is helping him by playing along with this. He needs a psychiatrist not a promotion.

Great. I can play too!

For this particular admiral, the letters line right up:

ADMIRAL <---> MAD LIAR

Leaving aside for a moment the question of Levine's actual gender, the first female four star admiral was Michelle Howard who was promoted to Admiral in 2014. So regardless of what one thinks Levine really is, the claim is still false.

To paraphrase whoopeee, “’It’s’ not an ‘admiral admiral’”. Or did I mess that up and it should be “’They’ are not and admiral admiral.”.

Reminds me of the song in HMS Pinafore.

“Stick close to your desk,
And never go to sea,
And you can be an Admiral in Biden’s Navee..”
