WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, a senior administration official said Friday. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to be a U.S. military service chief.
Biden’s decision to tap Franchetti, an admiral with broad command and executive experience, goes against the recommendation of his Pentagon chief, but he is selecting an officer whom insiders had considered the top choice for the job. Franchetti, the current vice chief of operations for the Navy, would become the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended that Biden select Adm. Samuel Paparo, the current commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, several U.S. officials said last month.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the nomination has not been made public.

She has 6 rows of ribbons to his measly 5. Obviously she must be better qualified. /s
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.
Is he a biologist?
At the linked AP article. To my eye, definitely a mannish-type woman.
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,”
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
I feel so much safer - not.
Clown Show.
White males need not apply.
Probably attached to barrettes?
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.)
Heh, when I saw the thread title I knew it!
And here we are
Maybe we should all her Bull Franchetti.
Holy Shitte, she has more hardware than Audie Murphy!
