No, it's a "person" get in line.
Biden overrules Pentagon, nominates first woman to head Navy
President Biden overruled the Pentagon and chose Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, making her the first woman, if she's confirmed, to be a Pentagon service chief.
www.foxnews.com
This is the guy that SHOULD be leading the Navy, Pentagon recommended him as well.
Admiral Samuel Paparo
Adm. Sam Paparo, a native of Morton, Pennsylvania graduated from Villanova University and was commissioned in 1987. He is the son of a former enlisted Marine and the grandson of a World War 2 enlisted

Just one question, which one would you follow into battle?
biden is checking boxes off, so he can pander to more people...see, look what i did;
It’s not a black, non-binary, tranny Wo(man) who can “fix” the Navy so they can never fight again? What’s up with that? Doesn’t Brandon know why they installed him like a toilet? If at this point you still believe he actually got more votes than Bama, then sorry, can’t help!
I’ll be honest here. I like a lot of the material on this site. This is a bullshit post. Who do you even speak about. This woman has done more than anyone here so shut your mouth unless you have something real to say. While I think other candidates are options, being a female doesn’t take away from a service record.

So you saying this lady has done more than anyone else here??
Surely someone here has commanded more than two aircraft carrier strike groups
During her tenure, Franchetti has commanded two aircraft carrier strike groups in the Pacific and served as the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea, deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting development, and director for strategy, plans, and policy of the Joint Staff. As head of 6th Fleet, she oversaw the Navy's response to Syrian President Bashar al Assad's use of chemical weapons.

not taking anything away from her credentials, but if biden could have picked a gay muslem woman, he would have.... the more boxes to check, the better. her qualifications mean nothing to him....
i think he knew that moving admiral rachael levine over would not fly...

I don’t know anything about the woman or her credentials and not really interested enough to read the links.
But I will say an impressive resume doesn’t necessarily mean an impressive person.
I have worked with women in the past who had very impressive resumes on paper but in real life they couldn’t do $hit.
They looked good and were butt kissers. Period.

With all due respect, Admiral Paparo is far more qualified to lead the Navy I served in. The guy is a Top Gun graduate with over 6000 hours logged in F14's,F15 and F18's. He's made over 1100 air craft landings. In addition to the multiple battle groups he's commanded he was/is Commander of the entire Pacific Fleet.
Franchetti's service record is not what I take issue with, it's the fact they passed over a far more qualified, battle tested candidate in Admiral Paparo simply because Franchetti is a woman.

None - most of the top guys in the military are political. It takes far more politics than good leadership to move up. That is why they are all about these stupid policies that do nothing for national security.Biden overrules Pentagon, nominates first woman to head Navy

Admiral Paparo was a Top Gun pilot; those guys make better warriors than politicians....

Of course it is a political stunt just look at brandons track record from the vice president to his cabinet picks . Now comes the horse trading on the nomination from the other side of the aisle .
Sounds like he should be a Top Gun instructor and date a girl named Penny…
I jest. I mentioned others were also qualified.

LIke I mentioned, I am not disrespecting her service record. She worked her way through the Reserves and obtained some enviable positions.
One thing I don't see detailed that I think is critically valuable, combat experience.
Oh and Penny wasn't much to look at without her makeup ; )

Anyone who is 3-4 start Flag Rank is a political animal and pretty much any actual combat experience they had is long stale to the current way of doing business. They may have been warriors, but they aren't anymore.
It was obviously a political move by Biden to select her; sure she is qualified but the reason she was chosen is her vagina.
Will it matter to the Navy and those serving? Probably not, I never thought about who was the CNO, Battlegroup Commander, or even the Skipper of the CVN when I was in.

I appreciate the open conversation as everyone has their opinion, view and reasoning.
She has never been in combat because of her vagina also..
imho that position doesn’t need a warrior, it needs a leader.
Put your boy up for a taller appointment..
Cheers friends

The nominee should be the admiral who will be the most effective at the job: leading the Navy.
It should have ZERO to do with gender. The moment gender was made part of the qualifier, the nomination merits became suspect and clouded.
Argue/discuss which one will do the best job based on demonstrated abilities and accomplishments. “Original issued crotch equipment” isn’t relevant to the job.
As for combat time, women have been serving in combat since this Nation was born. Some were clandestine, some were emergency necessity, some were officially sanctioned. Sure, some specific jobs were historically not available, and now even those are changing requirements. An entirely different discussion altogether. Bottom line: the “resumes” of the possible candidates can be compared honestly, and the leadership styles and accomplishments should be examined, too.
Personally, it’s a very small pool of flag officers that have my respect these days. Most are demonstrated weak-spined political pushovers, and the majority of the uniformed service members I ever served with don’t respect them.
