Mark Green withdraws his nomination for Army secretary
CNN ^ | May 5, 2017 | Andrew Kaczynski

President Donald Trump's choice for Army secretary announced Friday that he is withdrawing his name from consideration.

"It is with deep regret today I am withdrawing my nomination to be the Secretary of the Army," Mark Green said in a statement. On Tuesday, CNN reported that the nomination was in serious jeopardy, and he could be withdrawing as soon as this week, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The decision by Green, Trump's second pick for the post, came after his nomination ran into trouble following a backlash after past controversial statements on LGBT issues, Islam and evolution were revealed. Both the White House and Pentagon had told reporters earlier Friday there was nothing to announce regarding Green's nomination.

“We aren’t afraid of political correctness in Tennessee.”

I am not so sure your two Senators would agree.

while the republicans keep playing nice thinking the d’s will return the favor.

I don't think that the Republicans who are selling us out are thinking about much of anything except, why the fuss, I'll have another whiskey and soda.

Trump REALLY picks his battles. Maybe he’ll be less cautious when Newt becomes Chief of Staff next week.

Is that sarcasm, or is there actually a rumor floating around to that effect?

Savage said it today on his show, he also said he "wasn't supposed to say it." FWIW.

“...dare not say anything that offends homosexuals and Mohammedans.”

So what about them, there are those right here on FR who’d gladly burn the guy at the stake for dissing evolution.

You’ve never felt leftist hatred so vituperative and torrid as that of a right-wing evolutionist zeroing in on a creationist.

Yes, we DO, in plain fact, eat our own.

Then find a capable colonel or major.I’m sure there are capable ones who haven’t been compromised.

Can’t blame him.

They’ll do anal investigations on any military secretary Trump picks.
If the General ever had a goomada his ‘Petraeus colonoscopy’ will show up on PMSNBC, of that you can be sure.
