GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley expresses concern over Sen. Tommy Tuberville's prolonged hold on military promotions, suggesting it reflects a troubling decline in the nation's dedication to its armed forces.
‘s monthslong hold on military promotions Tuesday, questioning whether it represents a distressing low point in the nation’s commitment to its armed forces.. “I mean, you look at the fact that the Department of Defense shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. But there’s got to be other ways to go about doing this. ... I appreciate what Tuberville’s trying to do. I do. Like it’s totally wrong that the Department of Defense is doing this.
Haley, a former ambassador to the U.N., did not explicitly call for Tuberville to lift his blockade. She focused her criticism on the Department of Defense’s handling of promotions and implementation of the Pentagon policy that pays travel expenses and offers leave to service members seeking an abortion.
“You’re dealing with a Department of Defense that’s not focused on making sure that our military has the equipment, ammunition up to date that they need. Instead, they want them taking gender pronoun classes,” she said. “We’ve got a serious problem when you’ve got China threatening us, Russia threatening us, Iran threatening us, and we’re going to sit there and play games like this?”
Haley — whose husband is currently deployed with the South Carolina Army National Guard and served in Afghanistan in 2013 — said that dangling the promotions as “fodder” in a political maneuver could worsen military recruitment and morale. “I just think it shouldn’t get to this point. And you know, for my husband who’s serving overseas, and for all those military men and women, the idea that this is what they’re looking back and seeing, and this is what they are dealing with on top of the stresses of keeping themselves safe and being away from their families, it’s wrong,” she said.
