Biden to nominate first woman to lead a military service

President Joe Biden plans to nominate Adm. Linda Fagan to be the next commandant of the Coast Guard. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to lead a military service branch.

Since June 2021, Fagan has served as the vice commandant, the service's No. 2 position. At the time, she became the first woman to become a four-star admiral in the Coast Guard.

USNI News first reported that Fagan will be nominated for the top job. Members of the Senate Commerce Committee later confirmed the news.

“Admiral Fagan’s nomination will inspire generations of American women to strive to serve at the highest level in the Armed Forces,” Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, said in a tweet.

I would like to think that at some time they might be reasonable about something, but then, I wake up and realize this is who they've always been. They have simply dropped any pretense of decency or humanity.
