I was going to ignore Tibsy's latest thread, but since you asked. This is a NEW Biden administration practice, using taxpayer's money for abortion, which is illegal. The policy was enacted following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion. (FALSE) Tuberville calls the policy illegal, saying he’ll release his hold on the nominations when it’s rescinded. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/05/23/abortion-tuberville-military-pentagon-onpolitics/70248591007/ Yes…because one guy should get his way….no other GOP wants this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The US Marine Corps Doesn't Have a Commandant Today Because 'One Man With Courage Is a Majority' Today is the last day on active duty for Commandant of the Marine Corps David Berger. There will be hosanas sung in a lot of quarters at the departure of the man who has gutted the ability of the US Marine Corps to perform as an expeditionary force through the ill-conceived Force Design 2030 reorganization and work will start to try to mitigate the damage. But that isn’t what is drawing attention, though it should. When the helicopter lifts Berger off the roof of Henderson Hall this evening, the US Marine Corps will be without a confirmed commandant. Why doesn’t the Marine Corps have a Senate-confirmed commandant? The answer is two words and one US Senator: Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville. The issue is the Department of Defense subsidizing the expenses of military women to travel to a pro-abortion state to get an abortion when they aren’t available at their station of duty. Untrammeled wokeness inevitably leads to hubris and open revolt. The Department of Defense is barred from allowing abortions in military medical facilities. Shortly after the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturning the legal and moral travesty that was Roe vs. Wade was handed down in June 2022, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that the military would pay for the travel of pregnant soldiers AND their family members to states that were abortion-friendly as well as providing three weeks of free time off. The policy became final in February. Austin was correct in guessing that a Democrat-led Senate would prevent any action from being taken. What he was wrong about was the ability of one determined senator to upend the abortion applecart. In December, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville told Austin that if he persisted in doing this end run around the law, he would prevent all promotions of general officers and their civilian equivalents. Instead of blaming Tuberville, anger should be directed against the pompous, self-important Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin who is trying to score political points for the Democrats on the back of military readiness. When General Berger retires into well-earned obscurity this evening, you know what happens tomorrow? The sun will come up. Birds will sing. Children will play. The woke left will be outraged. In other words, life goes on. The Marine Corps will have an “acting commandant.” The only people inconvenienced by Tuberville’s hold is a handful of senior officers whose assignments need senatorial approval. While this may upset some career apple carts, the idea that failing to confirm them affects readiness is dishonest. If the miliary has reached the point where there is a finite number of generals capable of commanding, we might as well just fold our tent and slink away. Letting Austin do what he wants is rewarding the Defense Department for behaving like the spoiled, bratty toddler it is. Austin needs to do what is right legally, which is to pull the plug on his end run of federal law, and morally, which is to get Defense out of the baby-killing business. https://redstate.com/streiff/2023/07/10/the-us-marine-corps-doesnt-have-a-commandant-today-because-one-man-with-courage-is-a-majority-n773971 . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 This is laughable. What’s not laughable is Demented Biden doing another softball interview admitting and broadcasting to the world the US is low on 155MM artillery shells. You want to put lives at risk? Get this clown out of there before he kills more of our soldiers. What a mess. 1 hour ago, BillStime said: Also - this POS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The military will be OK We have systems in place where we always have leader ship, even if one person is not available Let him be an ####### he’s not hurting the military at all. Certain individuals are not getting their promotions therefore their pay grades, but eventually they will get it and retroactively. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is this: "Is it more cost effective to grant 3 weeks leave to a pregnant soldier to travel to get an abortion, or to have that soldier unable to perform her duties for an extended period of time during late term pregnancy, childbirth, and post-childbirth?" To ask the question is to answer it. In one case your employee is out of commission for 3 weeks and you're out of pocket a bit of travel money; in the other case your employee is sidelined for months. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that it was not offered previously was not for “cost effectiveness” It was because the majority of Americans don’t believe in using taxpayer money to kill babies. I know that you are rolling your eyes at that. Just as I did at the callousness of your reply. Thank you Senator. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
