Wasn’t Buttigieg a Rear Admiral?...............Oh, wait, that was a Rear Admirer.......
If they know they are pretending, they are drag queens and read stories to kids at libraries.
If they dont, they call themselves transgendered and the joke is they want you to take them seriously.
For women if they know they are pretending, they are Peter Pan or Victor Victoria. If they don’t, you deal with a someone looking like Ellen DeGeneres.
And the Democrats think all this is normal and great and acceptable and you should go to jail if you don’t play along. Conservatives think you don’t play along with mental illness and get these people the help they need to be ok
with the body they were born with.
Just a slight correction to the article is in order. Rachel Levine has never served in the Navy in any capacity. He is an admiral in the Public Health Services. The uniforms just look the same.
We need to massively cull the number of flag officers throughout the military. The senior ranks are absurdly bloated. This would increase efficiency and lower costs.
LOL! Good one, Red.
Good update to the thread
Number 1 injury in the military is saluters elbow.
Yep. Levine was a Public Health Services “admiral”. Their uniforms should not look like the Navy’s. It’s silly to the point of being insulting (to the Navy).
Bull Halsey put in 30 years of service before making admiral. Levine made admiral in one day. Something just doesn’t seem right there.
C. Northcote Parkinson described this whole thing well in Parkinson’s Law - when he described the decline and fall of the Royal Navy.
Well if you aren’t worthy respect at least you can demand a salute.
Few actually command ships.
Uncle Joey said they don’t have to so there.
Nimitz, Spruance, Halsey, Lee, Oldendorf vs. what we have now. Sad.
What would improve lower officer morale? Sacking 80% of the top brass and increasing their pay with the savings, including firing or reassigning all the paper pushers in the entourage of the top brass.
I don’t understand why HHS needs an imitation-military “public health service,” complete with make-believe “ranks” and silly uniforms. Is supposed to terrify the germs? I don’t think it works very well.
Dan, get your facts straight.
Rachel Levine was an admiral in the US Public Health Service, not the US Navy. USPHS uses Navy uniforms (with different insignia to differentiate) and ranks, but their officers are not part of the Naval Service.
Actually, the Navy only has 250 ships. An admiral generally commands a fleet, which consists of several (10-20) ships. So we probably need about 10-20 admirals. We have 300.
Men die in the desert while earning less than they would working in an Amazon warehouse while the brass socialize in D.C. and try to figure out why they have a recruitment problem.
