EU, 2015 during the Hijrah

Monday was meant to be a historic day, one in which a woman for the first time ascended to the ranks of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Instead, the Defense Department will mark a more sober milestone. With the retirement of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday, for the first time in U.S. history, interim officers are filling three of the eight seats on the Pentagon’s storied board of most senior military members.
So Monday brought a different sort of handover ceremony. Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the vice chief of naval operations and the nominee to replace Gilday, assumed the role in an acting capacity — with no idea of when she’ll be confirmed.
The remarkable situation is thanks to an eight-month blockade on military promotions put in place by Alabama Republican Sen.

More than 300 senior officer nominations are now on hold due to the standoff.

That's a good start ...

Other than that, women leading the military might be OK ...
Maybe ...
Not really sure about that ...
I didn’t think you could get any worse than Milley he set a standard for insibordination, playing politics and doing massive damage to the US military. But it’s apparent the upper ranks are full of perfumed princes, bigots and Marxist. We are so screwed...
I thought that the Tommy Tuberville endorsement was stupid. Can a football coach be a decent Senator?
I was wrong!
Good for Sen. Tuberville.
That article title reeks of sexual assault...
The outsiders tend to be the best look at Rand for another good example.

Not having a law degree is a good place to start.

This recalls the era of "MacNamara's idiots" only this time we will give them F-16s instead of M-16s.
