She wasn’t “unqualified” for the job, but there was no way in hell she was “more qualified” than Paparo. Which is why everyone at the Pentagon rightly expected it to be him.
She’s got a good resume. She was not unqualified (like I already stated). She did have a long career to be proud of.I'm a member of a couple of Chief facebook pages. I don't think I've read a bad thing about Franchetti and most people have posted in support of her actually. Did she get the "final nod" because she's a female? Maybe. That definitely didn't make her a bad choice though.
I don't have strong feelings either way because that appointment will never not be political. She's had a great career and will still do great things after this I'm sure.
