Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy’s No. 2 officer, has been leading the service on an acting basis because of the impasse.

President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the Navy’s top officer, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, said it could take the service years to recover from the impacts of Sen. Tommy Tuberville‘s blockade of hundreds of senior military promotions.

Franchetti told the Senate Armed Services Committee during her confirmation hearing Thursday that the impasse has created “a lot of uncertainty” for Navy families.

“Just at the three-star level, it would take about three to four months just to move all the people around,” Franchetti said. “But it will take years to recover … from the promotion delays that we would see.”

    America has killed millions of people and committed multiple genocides; the majority of Americans are irrelevant to the military industrial complex.

    The Navy is our enemy.

      I love that the internet allows everyone to have a voice here, as preposterously stupid as it is.

      I don’t think this conversation is going to have a trajectory that does anything other than annoy me, and give you a chance to spout more comically naïve and myopic idiocy.
