Unfortunately they’ve either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there’s a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.
Well, they did recently finally push through some promotions, and Tuberville’s response was basically ‘see, they could push through promotions any time they want, don’t blame me for holding things up’.
Point well made though, the military should be ready for their duties, and it’s time to say they’ve given Tuberville all the time they can and just push ahead.
