DoD Spox: Sen. Tuberville Has a Fundamental Misunderstanding of How the Military Works

EXCERPT:

SINGH: "Unfortunately, I think Sen. Tuberville just has a fundamental misunderstanding how the military works. We need our general and flag officers that our Senate confirmed in these positions. We can’t just have our other officers fill in for roles in an acting position indefinitely. Between now and the end of the year, we have 650 general and flag officers up for Senate confirmation that Sen. Tuberville has put a hold on, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was nominated yesterday by the president, Gen. CQ Brown. So these do have an impact on our readiness and our national security. When we don’t have a person that has been Senate-confirmed in these positions, that sends a message to our adversaries and to our allies all across the world and here in the Department as well."
