COMMENTARY: THANK GOD FOR THE PRINCIPLED SENATOR TUBERVILLE

Frank Gaffney | The Ohio Star | 9/20/2023 

These days, Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama is an endangered
species in official Washington. That’s not because political hacks
– IN UNIFORM AND OUT – ARE TAKING EVERY IMAGINABLE CHEAP SHOT AT
HIM, including that he is “endangering our national security” by
holding up the promotions of some 300 officers.

THE LATEST TO DO SO IS THE AMERICAN LEGION, an organization that once
faithfully championed our armed forces’ warriors, both serving and
veteran. As its attack on Coach Tuberville demonstrates, however, the
Legion has been reduced to just another special interest group
pandering to those in power in exchange for favorable treatment.

What makes “Coach” Tuberville such a rarity these days is that HE
ACTUALLY IS COMMITTED TO SOUND PRINCIPLES – AND IS WILLING TO FIGHT
TENACIOUSLY FOR THEM.

If the Senator’s many critics were actually concerned about
imperiling the common defense, one of two things would have happened
long before now: The Pentagon would have suspended the illegal
activity that initially precipitated Sen. Tuberville’s hold, namely,
the use of federal funds to facilitate abortions for the small number
of servicewomen seeking them. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH DISPATCH
TO ALLOW THE CONGRESS OR THE COURTS TO ADJUDICATE THE MATTER.

Alternatively, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would have
scheduled individual votes on one or more of these officers’
ostensibly-urgently-needed promotions. He could have done that at any
time, but has chosen not to do so.

Neither has happened because SENATOR TUBERVILLE’S CRITICS REGARD THE
U.S. MILITARY THESE DAYS AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR POLITICAL WARFARE, NOT
THE SHOOTING KIND. What really is putting our national security at
risk is embroiling the armed services in abortion or other racially
charged distractions like Critical Race Theory indoctrination,
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion quotas, LGBTQ agendas or transgender
accommodations.

Every minute spent training our men and women in uniform about the
“systemic racism” of America, that color or gender, not
performance should determine promotions, or the necessity of getting
others’ pronouns right, is time not spent preparing them for war.
THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES ARE ESPECIALLY GRAVE INSOFAR AS THE U.S.
MILITARY CAN ILL-AFFORD TO BE ANYTHING BUT AT TOP READINESS AT A
MOMENT WHEN THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IS PREPARING FOR CONFLICT WITH
TAIWAN AND PROBABLY US – and may be further emboldened to engage in
it if we are perceived as divided and weak.

That dangerous perception can only be reinforced by the dismal quality
of many among the leadership of our uniformed services. As testimony
today in the House Armed Services Committee by Army Ranger veteran
Will Thibeau will make clear, at least 42 PERCENT OF THE 300
PROMOTABLES ARE PUBLICLY ON RECORD SUPPORTING SUCH MANIFESTATIONS OF
THE CULTURAL MARXIST MAKEOVER OF OUR ARMED FORCES.

FOR THAT REASON ALONE, NONE OF THOSE OFFICERS SHOULD BE PROMOTED. If
anything courts-martial, rather than promotions, should be in order
for any who have helped politicize the U.S. military. THAT IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE OF GENERAL C.Q. BROWN, WHO HAS NOT ONLY CHAMPIONED THE
MARXISTS’ SO-CALLED “WOKE” AGENDA AS THE CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE
AIR FORCE. HE HAS ALSO GRIEVOUSLY MISMANAGED THAT SERVICE – to the
point that even its Secretary, Frank Kendall, has felt compelled to
launch no fewer than five task forces to identify and correct
deficiencies that have rendered it unprepared for war with the CCP.

THANK GOD FOR THE PRINCIPLED, PATRIOTIC TOMMY TUBERVILLE and the
opportunity he has created for the Senate to prevent real damage to
the national security by rejecting General Brown’s promotion and
that of others unfit to lead our military at a time such as this.
