Will he be similarly indifferent to a bipartisan group of former Pentagon chiefs? The Washington PostA bipartisan group of former defense secretaries — including two who served in Donald Trump’s administration — say that military readiness and U.S. national security are being harmed by one senator’s delay of the quick approval of nearly 200 military promotions because of his objection to the department’s abortion policy. That delay, which Sen.
Or put another way, literally every living former Pentagon chief from the past quarter-century signed on to the letter to Senate leaders. Two of the seven served under Trump. Another two are themselves former Republican members of the Senate. “Leaving these and many other senior positions in doubt at a time of enormous geopolitical uncertainty sends the wrong message to our adversaries and could weaken our deterrence,” the former secretaries added.“Most cannot move and resettle their families,” the letter notes. “Their children cannot enroll at their next schools on time; and spouses cannot start new jobs at the next duty station.
As outlandish as the senator’s tactics are, I remain struck by the underlying mentality. Tuberville — a member of the Senate minority — has a problem with the Pentagon’s policy on reproductive rights. The Republican knows that most of his colleagues, like most of the country, disagrees with him.
