Tommy is angry that our armed forces provide healthcare for women soldiers. So he’s going to actively prevent anyone from being promoted. This, of course will mean that current units will be understaffed, overworked, and frustrated that their well deserved promotions are being witheld.
The US Marine Corps has no confirmed commandant for the first time in more than a century and a half as a Republican senator’s abortion protest blocks over 200 military appointments.
Top military nominations are approved by the Senate Armed Services committee and eventually the full chamber, but a single senator can hold up the process. Since February Senator Tommy Tuberville has refused to confirm nominees.
The Pentagon says 265 nominations have been delayed by the row. The department predicts that number may rise to over 650 should the blockade continue until the end of the year.
Senator Tuberville of Alabama is protesting against a Pentagon policy that offers travel allowances and time off for military personnel who want an abortion.”

Yes Tommy has a problem. He hates women. He doesn’t believe that women should serve the nation. If they’re going to serve, they should be barefoot and pregnant. The idea that women should be allowed self determination, privacy, and freedom from invasion of that privacy is an anathema to Tommy.
See in Tommy’s world, if a woman gets pregnant from sexual assault while serving her country, then maybe she shouldn’t have been there to begin with.
But Tommy has a plan B. Make sure all dry cleaning comes with wire hangers. That way women soldiers can look sharp when they bleed to death from self-induced abortions.
Fuck you Tommy. You have no business being in a position of federal authority. You are unfit as a person, a representative, and as a citizen.
