U.S. History
U.S. History!
For the very first time in U.S. history a woman could become a four-star general. This promotion/nomination comes only from the President of the United States. Then it’s up to the U.S. Senate to confirm her. If the Senate confirms Lt. Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody, she will head up the Army Materiel Command, which is responsible for equipping, outfitting and arming soldiers in the Army. I think this is great news coming out of the Army. Heck, after all we almost had a woman for President. Things are changing around us everyday, some for the better, some for the worst. This change is definitely for the better. And I say good luck on getting confirmed from the Senate. Here’s a little side note I didn’t know about. Did you know that by law, the Army is only limited to 11 active-duty four-star generals? I had no clue this was so, did you?

Brava! It’s a great leap for your women there in the US and to the world as well. Little by little, it is very inspiring to see discrimination and stereotyping going away.
You have very good brief posted here. Very informative.
