...short, Faust is a visionary administrator who has steered the units under her command away from exclusively gender-related endeavors. And she is an incisive historian who has dismantled many of the very myths that feminists had previously embraced. If that’s what MacDonald calls a “feminist takeover,” then I say bring...

While he did get the promotion, the Senate vote of 83-to-14 was the poorest showing for an Army chief since Vietnam. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Casey should be held accountable for giving...
