I am thankful that President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mark E. Green to be the next Secretary of the Department of the Army. I am also thankful that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has enthusiastically supported Dr. Mark E. Green.
Hopefully Dr. Green will be interviewed by the Senate and confirmed this month. I also hope a highly qualified individual will be nominated for Secretary of the Department of the Navy very soon.
"WASHINGTON, April 7, 2017 — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis praised President Donald J. Trump’s nomination of Dr. Mark E. Green of Tennessee to become the next Secretary of the Army.“Mark will provide strong civilian leadership, improve military readiness and support our service members, civilians, and their families,” Mattis said in a statement issued today.”Strong Leadership
Mattis added that he appreciates Green’s willingness to serve the nation.
The secretary said Green had his full support during the selection process.
“And, he will have my full support during the Senate confirmation process,” Mattis added. “I am confident of Mark's ability to effectively lead the Army.”
A White House news release issued today announced Green’s nomination to be the next Secretary of the Army. The release reads as follows:

I can see why Trumps fans are happy with the pick of a homophobic bigot who sites imaginary sources to justify his bigotry But why would anyone else, He sited an non existing diagnostic manual to just f calling transsexual people diseased, the latest version of that manual says no such thing and the one he quoted has not been created yet

PVT James Strait - Not where they can harm people, they should leave their perversion in their bedrooms. A doctor quoting DSM-6 to justify his ignorant bigotry, has real mental problems since that volume has not been created yet. the current does not say what he wants it to say either, So not only is he a bigot he is a liar as well.
