Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday expressing concern about a "partisan slant" in the training materials distributed to military members.
Tuberville said the materials, designed to educate the ranks about extremism, exhibit a "disappointing partisan slant" by implying only "certain political thoughts are welcome."

No examples of groups affiliated with other political parties are included," the letter read, which was also signed by Sens. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D. "We cannot allow our military to be politicized."
