WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday he has nominated Admiral Linda Fagan to lead the U.S. Coast Guard and become the first female uniformed leader of a branch of the U.S. armed forces.

"Her leadership and integrity are second to none," Biden said in a tweet announcing the nomination.

Fagan, who currently serves as vice commandant of the Coast Guard, must be confirmed by the Senate to the post.

She would replace Admiral Karl Schultz, who has served as commandant since 2018.

In the show Space Force there was this one scene when all the other branch chiefs in a meeting were laughing at the chief of Coast Guard......
How does he know its a woman. Supreme court nominee has no clue if she is a woman. Stupid liberals always seem to be gender confused.
apparently you are the one who has no clue if she is a woman, everyone else knows
But is this a real she or a shim?
