begooode Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) announced on Tuesday that he is ending his months-long blockade on hundreds of military promotions. Tuberville said that he is jumping on board with an idea presented by Sens. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) that would release all of his holds on military officers at the 3-star level and below. A hold will remain in place for the roughly ten nominations for 4-star generals and officers. “I am not going to hold the promotions of these people any longer. We just released them,” Tuberville told reporters after informing Senate Republicans of his decision. At issue was a Pentagon policy, enacted last year, that was put into place last year allowing service members to be reimbursed for travel to receive abortion care. In total, the holds lasted nearly 10 months and became a thorn in the side of the Senate GOP conference, with many hesitant to choose between the military and pro-life issues. The pressure on Tuberville to alter his tactics only increased as Senate Democrats planned to hold a vote in the coming weeks that would temporarily change the rules of the upper chamber in order to advance the more than 400 nominees that were being affected. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4343067-tuberville-release-hold-military-promotions/ Edited December 5, 2023 by begooode luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's doing is trying hold positions open in case Trump gets back in office so he can fill the military w/ loyalists. He's only caving on 3stars to try and stop them from going around him for 4 stars. luvyablue256, and titanruss 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are just going to shelve all these promotion candidates to bring in another group of loyalists or blatantly filter through the current group and capriciously deny deserving promotions until they pinky swear an oath to maga?

Justafan Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Lol. It doesn't work like that. The military generates the list, based on competency and achievements. The Senate approves and appoints them with input from the Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary. Democrats can hold up nominations the same way Tuberville has. The President can simply fire the Defense Secretary - and believe me, he would - and replace that person with his own, and he can appoint the Chiefs of Staff with approval from Congress. At the end of the day, he would be the commander-in-chief, but this idea that you can replace all the current generals with MAGA loyalists is pure fiction sprouted by people who have no clue how the military operates. Senior military officers are apolitical, and it is a virtue that most of them take VERY seriously. This is why you saw so much pushback when both Trump and Pelosi and others tried to politicize the military before. Guys like General Flynn are an incredible minority.
