Kamala Harris is ready to lead our military

No woman has ever been America’s defense secretary. No woman has been chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And no woman has ever served as commander in chief, the president.
This is the bullseye. It has to be hit to crack the fabled Glass Ceiling, which has kept any woman from winning the presidency.
Do you trust a woman to fight and win for America?
In next week’s presidential debate, voters will see a sharp contrast in the candidates competing to be the next commander in chief. On one side will be a heavyset 78-year-old man who ducked military service during the Vietnam War and has a history of disparaging prisoners of war. He even puts down soldiers who died in war.
Standing on the other side will be a woman.
She is much younger at 59-years-old, physically fit and also with no military service. But she is also being embraced by several hawkish leaders with military experience.
“To defend our country against tyrants and terrorists, we need Kamala Harris behind the Resolute Desk,” former Defense Secretary and CIA director Leon Panetta said in his speech to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month.
