How The Rachel Levine ‘Four-Star Admiral’ Photo-Op Will Damage U.S. Security
The Federalist ^ | 25 Oct 2021 | John Lucas

Posted on 10/25/2021 6:49:43 AM PDT by Rummyfan

To great public fanfare, Joe Biden has anointed Rachel Levine a “four-star admiral” in the Public Health Service (PHS). The public relations campaign in support of Levine has emphasized his status as the first transgender four-star “admiral” in the “eight U.S. uniformed services.” That PR campaign is misleading, and it is part of a dangerous effort to undermine the military.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) kicked off the propaganda campaign, leading with the “four-star transgender” meme: On October 19, it announced “the nation’s first openly transgender four-star officer across any of the eight uniformed services of the United States. (emphasis here and below is added). HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra reinforced the theme: “Admiral Levine’s historic appointment as the first openly transgender four-star officer is a giant step forward towards equality as a nation.” The U.S. surgeon general touted Levine as “first openly transgender four-star officer to serve in any of the uniformed services.”

He is a rear admiral no matter how many stars.

It instills confidence in our allies and inspires members of our military when we promote mentally ill people to positions of authority in our armed forces. /s

It's the Public Health Service, not the military. And Levine is a four-star solely because of the office being filed, Under Secretary of DHS.

Out in the open, can't be blackmailed, over this anyway.

If it does a good job, fine.

Should drive Muslims crazy, this could be good or bad.

Unfortunately, probably being a leftist, probably won't do a good job.

Weird that the first admiral they praise is Halsey.

His negligence and failure to clearly communicate could have cost us the whole battle of Leyte Gulf. In that and subsequent command he clearly displayed rashness, pride and general stupidity.

Biden and Pelosi are Catholic the same way Levine is the first female 4-star admiral

He was appointed because of his gender “selection”, not his qualification. He is a butt ugly parody of a female on top of that. Who could take him seriously?

No, it's weird that they call this - thing - an Admiral at all.

"Her" first and only officer commission was directly to four star Admiral. She has no prior military or public Health Service experience, and has never held any rank in any branch of service prior to being commissioned to the highest rank.

EYE BLEACH! EYE BLEACH! What has been seen cannot be unseen!
I am in my 4th term in the Facebook Slammer this year for saying that, and I have had five comments removed yesterday from ABC news for saying the same thing.

He did a poor job foe his last employer, why should he do better now?

Do you know if the four-star rank is authorized by statute?
