Retired officers: Army secretary nominee 'unfit to serve'

Ten retired military officers have joined the chorus of opposition to Army secretary nominee Mark Green, calling him unfit to be the service’s civilian leader.

“As retired Flag and General Officers, we believe Mark Green is unfit to serve as the next Secretary of the Army,” the officers wrote in a statement provided first to The Hill by the Palm Center, an independent think tank that researches issues of gender and sexuality, and has been active on the military’s LGBT policies.

“We urge President Trump to withdraw his nomination as Secretary of the Army immediately.”

The signatories are retired lieutenant generals, major generals, rear admirals and brigadier generals from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard.
