The United States named a new Full Admiral in Washington, D.C. Friday--and it's an African American woman. She's will be the first ever female in Naval history to win a fourth star assuming the Senate approves President Obama's nomination. The Navy announced her nomination in an official release.
Vice admiral Michelle Howard,53, is currently the deputy chief of naval operations, plans, and strategy.She will serve as the Navy's second ranking officer, vice chief of naval operations, just a single step below the Navy's top officer, the chief of naval operations.

Yes.I am suspicious of the pigmentation/gender combo since we’ve had so many disasters like Jarrett, Rice, Lisa Jackson. Also the gender problem seems obvious in light of the feminization and homosexualization of the military.
I think you would find the good outweigh the bad. And as a woman I can outshoot most men. Having said that, I am the first to say...physically? I will take a man every time...I meant strength... oops. lol...well...either..both.
I am most worried about what her actual plans are for the Navy and whether or not she will allow them to uphold their time honored standards and traditions. That is how I feel about literally anyone at this point who is allowed into the Armed Forces and promoted to certain ranks. Certainly I do not condone Affirmative Action in the Armed Forces at all, but here I consider that secondary to say, whether or not she is gonna spout some bullcrap about how “physical strength should not be the end all” and be one of those Army women who’s a career opportunist first and foremost.
Wow! Awesome that she has the preferred genitalia type de jour.
Ya think??
Good outweighs the bad in Obama’s military? Don’t think so.
This is not Obama’s military. This is our military! And I could not be more proud of them.
She apparently gets a star every 24 months courtesy of the the CIC
Maybe he ‘ll keep going and give her 5 or 6 stars before hes done
Did you see 60 Minutes last Sunday? If not, please access it online. It is worth your time and effort.
What part of "defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic" do you not understand?
The 9/11 hijackers, the Boston bombers, and indeed most of those out to kill us at the present time were/are civilians. I certainly hope our military is prepared to shoot them when appropriate.
You can have the PC gay military run the communist sex perverts
It will be our military again when the queers are driven out by the right wing after the next election
‘Hope” she’s not another Colon Powell, taking credit for the ideas of others after her ideas are overridden.
Apparently and according to the article, she's the real hero...not the snipers that took the pirates out.
I am in San Antonio. We spend quite alot of time with the Wounded Warriors here....They would take exception with all you have said. You could not be more wrong.
Again, you could not be more wrong. My hair is going to catch on fire...you should spend more time with soldiers, esp wounded warriors. They could teach you alot. I am going to go start my husband’s dinner before I get in a kerfuffle. You have a good evening.
You do realize that the determination of enemies totally subjective to the CIC'c choice and that all FReepers are on the short list for declaration when the time is ripe.
