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. But instead, the administration official said Biden is nominating Paparo to lead U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the nomination has not been made public.

Sure he did. You expect anything different.
What’s Lisa’s real name? Lee? Liam? Lester?
What could go wrong?
Is this a biological female or is it a mentally ill trans man?
“And University of Phoenix is not even a real university”
Give what “real” universities today are indoctrination centers for woke culture, going to an unreal university may not be a bad thing. Likely we have plenty of woke flag and general officers with Ivy League bachelors and masters degree.
I think this is anti-trans bigotry to pick a cis woman oppressor.
_____________________________
What does “cis” mean? I’m asking for a friend.
Austin is a good token and won’t raise a fuss at all.
This to play off of “Tubberville hates women. She isn’t trans so Republicans are “simply anti women. “
Biden has always decided opposites with the experts. He has a long record of it, but I do believe unless she is unqualified kook, they should confirm her.
How do they know she is the first “woman”?
I’m thank God retired now.
Where I worked in government they were pushing women to the top. Very obvious. I have both a son and a daughter, love them both. There is no doubt that if both were to apply with the FBI, my son would have to shine like a star, while my daughter has a real chance to be accepted with the mere minimal in qualifications.
B. S. in journalism. She will fit right in with all the other B. S.
Where else could she get course credits for “lived experience”?
Touché !
BS in journalism... navigator and jumboization coordinator....a lot to unpack here.
"Cis" is a made-up word that Leftists use to signify "normal".
If the population were divided between "trans" people and "normal" people, you might assume that the "trans" people were abnormal. But, if the population is divided between "trans" people and "cis" people, then we are all perfectly fine and no one is at all strange.
The Left loves to control language to convince people to believe things that are not true.
