In a historic nomination, President Joe Biden has nominated Christine Wormuth to serve as the secretary of the Army.

If confirmed by the Senate, Wormuth -- who once served as the Pentagon's top policy official in the final years of the Obama administration -- would be the first woman to serve in the position.

The priority of the military these days is social engineering- fighting and winning wars is at best an afterthought.

I thought the priority of the Pentagon was separating us from our money. Russia has 1(one) aircraft carrier, China has 2 and we have 19. Only one of these three countries is protected by 2 very large oceans. We`re suckers.

Very historical in our current times of mass shootings and crime surges.


So glad Biden is tackling the big stuff first.

The present acting Secretary of the Army, is a former Army NCO who finished Ranger School and later got a PhD in economics from U. Chicago. The guy before him served in the 75th Ranger Regiment in Afghanistan, and the guy before him was a West Point grand and infantry officer with the 101st Airborne in the Gulf War.

Christine Wormuth is a career bureaucrat who never served in the military.

Response: Opinion

Those who graduate only high school usually end up in the field.

Those who continue with college education become officers and end up behind a desk.



Same applies in the real world ( blue collar field.)

I would have been considered feet on the ground having worked all my life out in the field as a wrench hand

reporting back to my superiors who pushed contracts, violations and deadlines behind the privacy of their pencil erasers.



Some people are made to sell cars while others are made to fix cars so they can sell.

Another first. I wonder if we will ever reach a place where we don't have to point out the first of everything. I think it's pretty obvious that women have been in powerful positions before

In this position, Biden should have been able to find a woman with military experience.
