Tommy Tuberville’s “hold” on senior appointments is the most disruptive act yet in Republicans’ efforts to take the culture wars to the military domain
” Brown, the air-force chief, is in a holding pattern as the Senate delays his appointment to succeed Mark Milley as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. All told, about 275 nominations of generals and flag officers, including front-line commanders, have been halted. About 650 are liable to be stymied by the end of the year, with a knock-on impact down the chains of promotion, not to mention the disruption to staff and families.
His “hold” on senior appointments is the most disruptive act yet in Republicans’ efforts to take the culture wars to the military domain, after skirmishes over vaccines, race and transgender issues. Democrats accuse the senator of harming military readiness and morale. Mitch McConnell, the Republicans’ Senate leader, rejects his move; other Republicans have tried to talk him out of it. All to no avail.
