Confirmation of first female Army secretary approved, then rescinded, by Senate
[FoxNews] The Senate approved the confirmation of Christine Wormuth as Army secretary by unanimous consent Thursday – after a strange reversal of an earlier confirmation Wednesday.

The first unanimous consent approval came Wednesday, but then Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., asked to reverse that decision. He didn't immediately elaborate on the move.

"As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vitiate the previous action on Executive Calendar 135," Schumer said on the Senate floor.

The Democrat deleted a tweet he had posted, hailing Wormuth's confirmation, Defense News reported.

After the Senate convened at 10 a.m. ET Thursday, Wormuth was again confirmed by unanimous consent, meaning she was approved without a senator objecting, avoiding a formal roll call vote.

#3 I like the Ukrainian ad best. It is gritty and captures that whole essence of necessity so well.

Here's one of ours. Sung and edited by college kids, it was chosen as a recruitment ad for universities and even awarded by the MoD.



I am, I am, I am here.
The fire that burns forever.
Velocity no one can stop.
A height no one can touch.
I am. I am. I am here.
As long as I live.

#4 #2 I don't have issues with them - Russian speakers of Donbass have issues with them. I just find it interesting that most of these Ukrainian Nationalists speak Russian instead of Ukrainian.

#13 My Dad knew some people in the Venezuelan Armed Forces and respected them a lot, although that was Pre Chavez (tm).

(Although he didn't try to join the forces, like he did the Turkish Army...)
