<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nCNN<\/a> reports that Mark Green, President Trump’s nominee to be the Secretary of the Army is under fire from the Left for some of his political statements from when he was a state senator in Tennessee. <\/p>\n Democrats and LGBT groups have slammed Green over his previous comments on LGBT issues, which included saying: “If you poll the psychiatrists, they’re going to tell you that transgender is a disease.”<\/p>\n He’s also been criticized by Muslim groups for comments about not teaching “the pillars of Islam” in public schools.<\/p>\n On Monday, CNN reported Green is a self-identified creationist who delivered a lecture arguing against the theory of evolution. Can you imagine the Leftist outcry if public schools were teaching the stations of the cross? But, yeah, the pillars of Islam are fine to teach in public schools. I guess my question would be “So what?” Why would an Army Secretary be unqualified for that position because he opposes teaching tenets of Islam in schools? The same applies to his opinions on sexual deviancy. Social justice shouldn’t be a concern for an Army Secretary – my concern is that he is able to fight our nation’s wars for our benefit.<\/p>\n But my in box is full of propaganda from the Palm Center<\/a> and the Human Rights Campaign<\/a> telling me why I should oppose Green. By the way Green is an Army veteran. According to Wiki<\/a> his bio reads like someone eminently qualified to lead the Army;<\/p>\n Green graduated from U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1986. From 1987 through 1990, Green served as an infantry officer in the United States Army. His first duty assignment following graduation from the US Army Ranger School was with the 194th Armored Brigade (United States) at Fort Knox. There he served as a rifle platoon leader, scout platoon leader and battalion adjutant for an Infantry Battalion. Following the Infantry Officer’s Advance Course, then Captain Green served with the 82nd Airborne Division as an airborne battalion supply officer and a rifle company commander. Following a traumatic event where his father’s life was saved by a team of surgeons and critical care doctors, Green requested the US Army send him to medical school. He attended Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. He did his residency in emergency medicine at Fort Hood Texas. After his residency Dr. Green was selected to serve as the Flight surgeon for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sounds like a guy who would do well leading the Army.<\/p>\n
\nGreen defended himself against the criticism in a Facebook post last week, charging that the “liberal left has cut and spliced my words about terrorism and ISIS, blatantly falsifying what I’ve said.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
