Tommy Tuberville to Oppose Woke Military Generals in Standoff with DOD<\/h3>\n<p><strong>KRISTINA WONG<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement on Thursday he plans to oppose specific military nominees in coming weeks, escalating his continuing standoff with the Biden Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I warned the Pentagon that I would hold their most senior nominees if they broke the law. They did it anyway, and forced my hand. Since then, Chuck Schumer and the Biden Administration have refused any serious negotiations, and so this situation has dragged on.<\/p>\n<p>This has given me more time to look more closely into the background of some of these nominees, and I have deep concerns about some of them. I will continue this process of oversight and I will announce my opposition to specific nominees in the weeks ahead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tuberville began blocking confirmation after the Biden Pentagon said in February it would pay for the travel and accommodation for troops and their families to get abortions if they were based in a state where they could not get one. He and other Senate Republicans argue the policy violates the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from paying for abortions except in the cases of rape, incest, or if the mother\u2019s life is at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are more than 300 general officers nominated by the Biden administration whose promotions are awaiting confirmation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2023\/08\/25\/exclusive-sen-tommy-tuberville-to-oppose-woke-military-generals-in-standoff-with-dod\/\">Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Existing policies are not a factor, at least in the current recruitment crisis according to DOD spox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Woke-ism Not to Blame for Army Shortfalls, Says Top Recruiting General<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>\u201cThat is not what I\u2019m seeing,\u201d says commanding general of U.S. Army Recruiting Command, as right-wing pundits target the military over anti-racism, anti-extremism, gender, and climate change policies.<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenseone.com\/policy\/2022\/10\/woke-ism-not-blame-army-shortfalls-says-top-recruiting-general\/378232\/\">Defense One<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Perfumed Princex cannot even define what woke admissions criteria mean, much less how they improve warfighting capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Congress Critter Gaetz grills Lieutenant General Clark, Superintendent of the Air Force Academy<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Matt Gaetz Stumps Air Force General When He Asks: 'Do You Know What \u2018Demigender\u2019 Really Means?'\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y6z4xleikS8\" width=\"510\" height=\"410\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CJCS nominee General Charles \u201cCQ\u201d Brown is under scrutiny for his dismal performance as Air Force Chief of Staff, and CNO nominee Admiral Lisa Franchett is on record as a DEI fan backing \u201cConnectedness\u201d whatever that may be.<\/p>\n<p>This impasse is easily solved by individual vote, which would require each Senator to actually go on record.
