Harriet Tubman is the first woman of any ethnicity to be given a field promotion by the US military. Her strategy and guidance were instrumental in winning the battle of Combahee Ferry. She was posthumously promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard.

Thanks for the article, it must be really tough for the people serving in the Navy to see this stuff happening. It's the people in the lower ranks and other officers who can tell who are good leaders or not.

Based on my military experience in combat, I have to tell you that Hegseth wouldn't make a pimple on a good soldier's ass...

Thanks for writing about this. I'm retired Navy and it makes me sick. Kegsbreath is hollowing out the entire military, weakening the Navy as a sport. The USA is the weakest we have ever been bc of him and the Orange Demon.
