Alabama Senator Blasts Lloyd Austin: ‘Most Political Secretary of Defense We’ve Ever Seen’

"The Biden administration wants to mobilize our military against the weakest and the most defenseless: the unborn," Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., says of the new Pentagon's new abortion policy. (Photo: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., once again stymied his Democrat colleagues from approving nearly 200 promotions for military generals and flag officers—while also picking up an ally in his ongoing dispute with the Pentagon over its new abortion policy.

The latest standoff took place Wednesday evening when Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., asked for unanimous consent to move forward with the nominations. As he has done repeatedly, Tuberville objected. This time, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., stood by his colleague.

“The policy is immoral, taking Department of Defense abortions from less than 20 per year to over 4,000 abortions annually,” Marshall said. “It’s beyond me why the White House wants to pick this fight. The policy is illegal. It forces taxpayers to subsidize abortion in violation of federal law.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Tubberville wasn't my choice for the position, but he has impressed me a few times now with some backbone.

Quote from: article
“The Biden administration and Senate Democrats claim this is harming our military readiness,” Marshall said. “With policies like this, they continue to destroy recruiting. If readiness was truly a concern of theirs, they wouldn’t have discharged 8,000 troops for choosing not to take the COVID vaccine—a vaccine with minimal benefits to an otherwise healthy young population.”

Dang that statement stung a few libs I bet.
