Senate confirms Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs

WASHINGTON — Army Gen. Mark Milley will be the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, following an 89-1 vote in the Senate Thursday.

Milley, the former Army chief of staff, is expected to replace Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford as the nation’s top uniformed officer sometime in September. He will work again beside newly installed Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. The two worked side by side for two years, when Esper was Army secretary.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, was the lone no vote.

Let me see.  Hmm.  Merkley is from Oregon which means he's a flaming liberal so what  was the real reason he didn't vote for Milley?   It must be Milley's toxic masculinity!
