She has 6 rows of ribbons to his measly 5. Obviously she must be better qualified. /s

[suthener]

And some better qualified white male admiral, who has spent the last 25 years aspiring to fill this position, and sacrificed and did things he did not want to do to make sure he was competitive in the selection, gets passed over. What a world we live in.

Another “Historic” pick, aka affirmative action.

[null and void]

Is he a biologist?

[Blennos]

At the linked AP article. To my eye, definitely a mannish-type woman.

[MinorityRepublican]

Repeal the 19th Amendment

I agree. But it's too late so we can't do anything about it.

The problem will soon sort itself out.

We will vote for a President who's going to be like Justin Trudeau or Gavin Newsom and America will become a dictatorship.

“Biden has always decided opposites with the experts. He has a long record of it,”

There was a leader in the first half of the 20th century who became famous for deciding opposite of the experts. It didn’t end well for him or his nation.

Another “Historic” pick, aka affirmative action.

I wouldn't mind if it was based on merit. And this lady is someone like Margaret Thatcher. The Iron Lady.

But that's not how they're playing the game.

“And University of Phoenix is not even a real university”

Better than Harvard.

But who am I to talk. My PhD came from Central China Normal University

[wildcard_redneck]

I feel so much safer - not.

[MayflowerMadam]

Clown Show.

[William of Barsoom]

White males need not apply.

[MayflowerMadam]

Probably attached to barrettes?

[Tupelo]

We don’t give a Rat’s Patoot if she is qualified or not. She is the FIRST woman* to run the US Navy.

* Did they run this woman chit by Ketanji Brown Jackson*?

Is the Brown in Ketanji Brown Jackson a name or an identifier?

Franchetti did not graduate from Annapolis like most senior Navy admirals.

“cis” is a prefix which means “on this side of” or “on the near side of”.

Cisalpine indicates on the near side of the Alpines, while transalpine indicates on the other side of the mountains.

She really has been a busy lil split-tail her time in. Right up the ladder. (I concur with your thinking.)

[SaveFerris]

Heh, when I saw the thread title I knew it!

And here we are

[crusty old prospector]

Maybe we should all her Bull Franchetti.

[ABN 505]

Holy Shitte, she has more hardware than Audie Murphy!
