In December 2022, Tuberville pledged to block all senior military and civilian Department of Defense nominations over a new Pentagon policy that covers the travel costs of service members seeking abortions in states outside of where they are stationed if they are based in a state that bans the procedure.
Hurting the military because they don’t hurt women enough. Typical Southern Republican.
GOP are enemies of the people and enemies of the military as well.
But the marines are enemies of the people, too, the GOP should love them!
The military is made up of the mostly middle class and a mix of those who are looking for education and housing benefits with a few who are from military families.
I’ve met many people who have served in various branches. I’m my experience, obviously anecdotal: people in the Air Force and Navy are mostly regular people. The army can go either way; they’re largely undereducated but otherwise regular people. Marines are not normal people; they are brainwashed jarheads who believe they’re god’s gift to the world (and to women).
Yeah, except for the marines. The marine corps is packed full of white supremacists, christian nationalists, regular nationalists, rapists, and just plain old psychopaths who signed up to get paid to shoot foreigners they see as subhuman. The majority of marines are trash, no matter how hard they threaten to beat or murder people who call them out for what they are.
Beau of the Fifth Column had a good take on this.
The Corps will have an “Acting” Commandant. Legally, there are certain things an “Acting” cannot do, but… if a Marine is given an order by the Acting, he will follow it. Period.
The Senate is there to Advise and Consent. If all orders put out by the Acting are followed, the Senate’s purpose becomes moot. Tuberville will have handed over full control of not just the military, but all departments that relied upon Advise and Consent to Biden. Biden will no longer need to seek their consent.
The military will have moved one step closer to no longer being under civilian control, and you can thank Tuberville for that.
I can’t believe that the people of Alabama voted for Tuberville.
Well that tracks since GOP really stands for: gaslight obstruct and project.
