Looking forward to seeing the Selective Service Act amended to include women in future military conscription alongside men
I’m four minutes in and I can’t finish. The admiral is excellent. The interviewer is so obnoxious constantly chiming in with noises. What interviewer does that?

Is the host trying to impersonate the VP?
Greetings from Quincy, Massachusetts!
I'm disappointed in the comments section. I retired from. the U.S. military and served in both the Army and Air Force, I'm a male so it was easy for me, as I didn't have all the obstacles and purpose built-in hurdles that women have faced over the years. For women to achieve the same rank as a male counterpart, they have to be twice as good as the males. Over the years and decades I have noticed that military women tend to be outstanding or mediocre as best. The Services have either attracted women that are trying to break through the glass ceiling or doing the minimum. The hardest working female (or male) in the Service is the female Second Lieutenant trying to qualify in a Combat Arms and trying to be respected by her male brethren that have testosterone poisoning. I'm hoping in the future the Services will attract more women that are good, but not necessarily great, Congratulations to ADM Lisa Franchetti for her outstanding achievement!! BTW the way...the GOAT in alpine skiing history is a woman (Mikaela Shiffrin).
RIP US Navy.
