On October 19, U.S. President Joe Biden appointed Rachel Levine as head of the U.S. Public Health Service Officer Corps (similar to the minister of health in other countries' militaries), became a four-star U.S. admiral, and "she" became the highest-ranking transgender officer in U.S. military history, and continued to serve as assistant secretary of health and human services (the minister is also transgender, and took leave to be a "wet dad" a few days ago).
Rachel Levine was born in 1957, now 64 years old, originally a male, once a career physician, and had two children with his ex-wife, but in 2011 he changed his gender to become a "she", and more strangely, after the transgender "her" career began to soar, in 2015, Levin was nominated by Pennsylvania Governor Wolfe as the state's chief physician, and in 2017 was appointed by Wolff as the state's health department director. The succession of appointments by President Biden as assistant secretary of health and human services on Feb. 13, followed by Levin's appointment as a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Officer Corps, is a dizzying succession of promotions.
There is a great difference between American culture and East Asian culture, and transgender people enjoy almost any rights of normal people, such as: to be a civil servant or join the military... Wait, but Levin did not serve a day and became a four-star admiral of the Navy, which is really unfair to the generals who have been promoted step by step from the grassroots!
U.S. Secretary of Naval Operations Jonathan M. Greentner's four-star general, looking at the list of awards and service time on his chest, shows that he rose from the most basic level through his own efforts.
The army is the most senior place, because the army is a special group, after the test of blood and fire, the veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead people regard honor as very important! If anyone who has no qualifications but surpasses himself in rank or even just ranks will cause dissatisfaction... This kind of thing is the same in the army of any country, for example: in the novel "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei, the "Iron Triangle of the Northwest Jin Dynasty", were major generals when they were awarded the title, and then they began to make trouble and were severely criticized by Liu Shuai... Although it is a novel, this did happen when the title was awarded in 55 years.
Rachel. Levin's chest of the slight table compared with the general Jonathan chest is really not worth mentioning, "she" became a four-star general will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the U.S. military, the previous head of the U.S. Public Health Service Officer Corps, this position, are retired four-star generals of various services, because in the military is "highly respected", even after retirement is also very influential, so no one in the army has questioned this, but let a day soldier did not do, or a transgender person to hold this position is indeed impossible to say, This also shows that the US government's pursuit of "political correctness" has reached the level of mental abnormality.
Senior U.S. military generals have a high opinion of themselves and always look down on politicians, for example: MacArthur has great respect for President Roosevelt, but he is very disdainful of Truman, When Truman was elected, MacArthur did not even return to China to attend the inauguration ceremony (he was the successor president, only successfully elected in 1948), and in the Korean War, the two had serious political and military differences, MacArthur had overstep his bounds, and even openly opposed Truman... Eventually, MacArthur was fired by Truman.
"Old Ike" also looked down on Truman, but he did not show obvious disdain like MacArthur at the time, which was also a cover for his future presidential campaign, but after being elected, he was not polite to the previous president, and it is said that when they attended the inauguration of the new president together, the two exchanged words in the car... These two examples also show that if the US president has no prestige in the military, he must have a good relationship with the army, after all, the latter is the most powerful state apparatus, if the relationship is not good, it will be like the "bed general", and finally lose half of the election without the support of the military.
And this time Biden actually let transgender people serve as four-star generals with a high symbolism in the "masculine" army, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the military who did not necessarily obtain high ranks within the army, it seems that he also did not want to get the support of the army, whether he could be re-elected in the next presidential election is very variable, and the contradiction between the army and the government because of this is both abnormal and dangerous.
