Netizens Skewer US Navy's First Female Top Commander
09:56 GMT 03.11.2023 (Updated: 11:23 GMT 03.11.2023) Lisa Franchetti, who is the former head of the US 6th Fleet and US naval forces in South Korea, also served as an aircraft carrier strike commander.
The public took to social media to ruthlessly mock the Senate's approval of Admiral Lisa Franchetti to lead the US Navy, making her the first woman to hold this top position and to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Several Twitter users have made claims that with a woman now in charge of the US Navy, this branch of the military is "doomed". Additionally, some individuals have shared sarcastic posts regarding the gender of the new US Navy chief.
A number of netizens, though, insisted that the skill rather than the gender matters when it comes to Franchetti’s new job.
“Gender isn’t particularly newsworthy; wouldn’t it be better to talk about her credentials, her leadership qualities - how about that?’ one user noted.
Another user quipped, “the reason our woke military feels comfortable promoting a woman as ‘most qualified’ is that regular Americans are the largest, most well armed in the world. Our military on the other hand no longer focuses on their main objective.
