I personally think they should cut flag officers by 50% across the military. Too much empire building, get back to the warfighters.
What’s another dozen or so 4-star generals to add to the pile?
If they want promotions, just stop illegally funding abortions.
This is jeopardizing national security?
Dude, the “Commander in Chief” LITERALLY is in bed with China and Ukraine.
You’re letting fatties, mentally-ill douchebags, and trannies enlist.
Our national security was already in the toilet.
Frankly, military brass that this Regime wants to promote should be fired en masse.
There are so many disappointments when it comes to politicians these days. And there are so few pleasant surprises. Tommy Tuberville has been one of those rare pleasant surprises.
Every one of the people being “held up” and “suffering” by Tuberville is making well over $150k/year with good portions of their salaries and benefits tax free. If the “suffering” gets too bad, nearly all of them are also eligible to put in for retirement where they’ll immediately draw a pension above that of the average American’s working salary, many of them in their late 40s or early 50s with industry connections that will easily add a six figure executive position on top of that benefit.
We should be in zero wars right now. There should be zero urgency to push people through if there are bigger issues (like the military flaunting the law which was constitutionally passed) to deal with.
Yeah, because those two things are inextricably intertwined.
Way to go Tommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to clear, Tuberville does not have the power to hold up any nomination. He is only refusing to grant unanimous consent to rubber stamp POTUS’s nominations. The Senate can still vote on each nominee to approve it, and Schmuck Schumer is the Majority Leader who can bring them to a vote tomorrow, but has not done so. Why? It would be time-consuming and cut into the Senators’ five-hour work day and 4-day work week, plus it would take away the Dems’ narrative that is the Republicans who are being obstructionist and “endangering national security.” Not surprising that the leftist AP is parroting this lie.
“Hundreds of military promotions are on hold as Republican senator demands end to abortion policy”
Yes and isn’t it grand!
None of Biden’s woke officer candidates should be confirmed — even if he concedes the abortion issue just to get them burrowed into the military.
There’s a good reason for what Tommy Tuberville is doing and its not about abortion.
Go Tommy!
Check the pentagon is starting to look more like D.C..
Biden could get all his promotions approved if he simply submits them one at a time. The Democrats have 51 votes to confirm each one.
Instead, in order to conceal the radical politics of many of his selections, Biden is seeking to have all of his selections confirmed in one vote, with no hearings, which Tommy Tuberville is allowed to block.
Col. Douglas MacGregor discussed that very thing in some detail in his amazing interview by Tucker Carlson. (52 mins total, but riveting—worth the time.)
