President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy, an unprecedented choice that, if she is confirmed, will make her the first woman to be a Pentagon service chief and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I am amazed that we’ve never had a female on the joint chiefs of staff .
Well the military is about 99% men, and even less women sign up past the first 8 years. It makes unfortunate sense.
It’s 2023 ffs. I too am amazed (and shocked, and appalled) that we’ve only just now gotten a woman on the joint chiefs of staff.
Sucks when I can’t even be excited cuz I’m just so disappointed it took this long.
She’s not there yet. We have to convince Coach to not throw a fit over it first.
Ugggggh I forgot about that. So, it’s not happening then. Probably. Maybe next decade.
There’s a ton of baked in misogyny in the military.
Rapes? What rapes?
*quickly sweeps something under the rug*
Colonel, you raped her? Congrats on your promotion to General.
