Tommy Tuberville, the dumb-ass Republican who has been single-handedly holding up various military appointments, spoke out about why he voted against the latest general to go up for confirmation.
“I heard some things that he talked, about race and things that he wanted to mix into the military,” Tuberville said about Brown.
“Let me tell you something: Our military is not an equal-opportunity employer,” he said.
“We’re not looking for different groups, social justice groups,” Tuberville said. “We don’t want to single-handedly destroy our military from within. We all need to be one,” he added.
He also said, “Our military is becoming so political that we’re going to go south when it comes to readiness.”
You know, the military is an equal opportunity employer — about 31% of the members belong to racial minorities. Maybe he was confused because the senior ranks are far less egalitarian?
At least his last sentence is correct. It’s just that he represents the problem.
