Remember that when Rs say they want to take the federal government into the tub and drown it, they are serious. R Tuberville is doing this to our armed forces and the Rs don't stop him.
WASHINGTON – Three of the five US military branches are now without a top officer after the Navy’s chief of operations retired Monday amid Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s months-long hold on Defense Department appointments.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said during Adm. Mike Gilday’s relinquishment of command ceremony that his departure without a Senate-confirmed successor marked a “painful milestone” in US history.
“Starting today, for the first time in the history of the Department of Defense, three of our military services are operating without Senate-confirmed leaders,” Austin said. “This is unprecedented, it is unnecessary and it is unsafe.”
