Biden’s Army, Air Force and Navy Secretaries Say They’ll Go On Putting Abortion Ahead of National Security
Front Page Magazine ^ | September 5, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 09/05/2023 6:00:51 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has asked the Biden administration to choose between promotions for senior officers and abortion in the military.

Three of Biden’s appointees, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro and Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall collaborated on a Washington Post op-ed describing Sen Tuberville’s hold on military promotion as “putting our national security at risk”.

They claim that continuing to do so will “have a corrosive effect on the force” and they insist that they will go on putting abortion ahead of national security.

The Biden appointees claim that abortion on demand in the military is “critical and necessary to meet our obligations to the force.”

Apparently, it’s more critical and necessary than national security.

The bottom line is we have a Mexican standoff here between Biden’s military people and Sen. Tuberville.

Biden’s appointees, civilian and military, had a chance to choose between abortion and national security. They’ve argued incessantly that Sen. Tuberville is endangering national security, but any statement that they make about him is by definition equally true of them.

If they claim that Sen. Tuberville is putting his opposition to abortion ahead of national security, they’re admitting that they’re putting abortion ahead of national security.

So what exactly are they loyal to, America or abortion?

brought to you by shallow ass Americans who had a problem with mean tweets and didn’t get out in overwhelming numbers to outvote this vile administration. “Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences”. Enjoy your consequences America.

Nothing about national security is endangered.

Subs and naval ships are leaving on schedule.

Tank crews are taking part in exercises.

Fighters, bombers, and cargo planes launch on schedule.

Any Pentagon dimwit who suggests some element is screwed up....is left with chow-halls at some Army post in Texas where they don’t have enough chow-hall recruits to conduct daily meals. On this, I won’t argue....but the rest of this BS is just lame crap that some halfwit would utter.

So national security is not endangered by a CIC who abandons allies in the middle of the night and leaves billions of dollars of weapons, materiel and US personnel behind?

The Pro Lifers are not good political allies. They got Roe V Wade overturned and then disappeared. There have been 6 ballot issues expanding abortion in 6 different states and Pro Abortion forces won them all decisively.

Politicians are going to be hesitant to take Pro Life stands if they cannot count on support.

There are various issues in play (not just the Ukraine, abortion-on-demand or Afghanistan). Denying the Senate-stamp-of-approval is just a theatrical show....things are still getting done without the ‘stamp’.

At the present pace, I’d say at the end of 2025...the Army will admit that they can’t fill one-quarter of all billets (both active and reserve). Navy and AF will be probably a 2027 problem. It’s likely that a draw-down on bases/posts will occur, which has nothing to do with funding/money...simply that you can’t fill all the subs/ships, or combat battalions or fighter squadrons.

Whole new era coming. Between incompetence with Pentagon leaders, public perception of woke being a national problem, and trans-stuff...confidence is draining. Russia draining all it’s military assets, and with China’s economy spiraling out of control...I don’t think we have a true enemy left at the end of the decade.

In my military days a woman could get out easy just by getting knocked up. They just couldn’t handle military life.

One of N reasons, where N is a very large number, why any sane vet urges youngsters to avoid the corrupt woke marshmallow led military at any cost. Sooner or later, we’ll need a real military, and it won’t be woke.

---- "So what exactly are they loyal to, America or abortion?"

The socialists -- in all the varying forms thereof -- are internationalists.

The "national" forms of socialism warred against each other on occasion with one aim, to find out which top dog was to be THE top dog.

"As one of — as one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 — 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946. And since then, we've established a liberal world order, and that hadn't happened in a long while. A lot of people dying, but nowhere near the chaos.

And now is a time when things are shifting. We're going to — there's going to be a new world order out there, and we've got to lead it. And we've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it."

Source: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/03/21/remarks-by-president-biden-before-business-roundtables-ceo-quarterly-meeting/

In order to "lead" and "unite," the US is now at:
$ 32,872,267,512,546 and rapidly rising, such that our debt will be over $33 trillion before the end of the year.

And: "Federal deficit hit $1.6 trillion in first 10 months of FY23, more than double last year's shortfall" --

Source: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/federal-deficit-hit-1-6-trillion-first-10-months-fy23-double-last-years-shortfall

Seems like being led into ever greater debt, and therefore servitude of the American people, begging the question in Biden's remark above: Who is "we?"

Sure, Trump only got more votes than any Republican candidate in the history of the country.

But that’s not enough for you. Maybe we need to all vote 5 or 10 times, like the Democrats.

It’s all about money for the services. If a baby is born, the service members must get housing. And if they live outside the gate, they get bigger allowance. Not to mention a food allowance which single living on base may not get. All about the Benjamin.

Well, I sure didn’t vote for this band of fools who have brought all these problems down on America. Not only do they need to be voted completely out come next election, but I think some harsh punishments are due each one of them. Make the punishments harsh enough & maybe this won’t happen again for awhile.
