The Pentagon is still a largely male-dominated place, and Patrick Shanahan, U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, is pushing hard to change that by filling top posts with female candidates, his chief of staff said.

But some critics are skeptical. “The Trump administration has created the most male-dominant administration since Reagan,” said Loren DeJonge Schulman, a former Pentagon official who now researches national security and defense reform at the Center for a New American Security. “The Defense Department is among the worst, if not the worst, in establishing women as leaders at all levels of the Department, civilian and military.”

I think Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Bahar would be ideal choices since they know everything about everything. wink777

If I was Mr. Trump, I'd pull this nomination and look for somebody else.

If no where else, cannot we agree that our country's military should be a meritocracy?
