Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

      These individuals are like having repairmanman from All That show up and announce something is broken, then expect to be paid and praised to repair it but pocketing the cash and running.

        He is so obviously compromised by external interests he should be removed from office. What logic is there to this? Let him stay up there and fuck our military just because? Is it because he was democratically elected and you can’t just remove them? I don’t understand how theres such rampant and blatant corruption and nothing is being done.

          fuck our military just because?

          Nope, that’s just the cover. Remember how they prevented Obama from appointing federal judges and a Supreme Court seat, then speed-marched every possible conservatively-vetted candidate through as soon as they got the Senate?

          Now remember how the military did not support Trump’s ambitions on January 6th? They’re determined to stuff the military with proto-fascists so that the next coup will have military backing.

            I hope there are two critical flaws with their plan.

            1. Having enough loyalists to fill most positions

            2. Everyone else in the military

            They have to secure all the top positions, which I think thankfully are filled already. Without that, the chain of command overrides all the loyalists appointed. And if they do decide to disobey orders, I think we’d see more soldiers rebelling against obviously installed political lackeys than against institutional leaders.

            This is all conjecture that I hope is the case, but I could be totally wrong about. I’d like to think that most of the military would have no respect at all for political appointments nor lower ranks getting vastly promoted for their politics.

            And then on top of that, the people who were passed over for promotions are not going to be pleased, and most of them are already in leadership positions. Asking them to attack the American people against their oaths and on behest of someone who snubbed them is doubly unlikely.

            But again, I might be being too optimistic. It’s impossible to know unless it happens, which we would rather not be the case. It pays to stay wary and prepare for the worst while still hoping for the best.

          At this point he’s so blatantly compromised and everyone knows it that he should be charged with treason and given the appropriate punishment.

      There is recourse, but no one wants to go to jail for the rest of their life afterward. Things are still too good to go that far.
