Tommy Tuberville is right to challenge military wokeness

The Alabama Republican is facing a great deal of opposition as he blocks Biden’s drive to fill the top brass with woke-obeisant officers. Such disapproval comes not least from a key Republican in the Senate: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell . But there is a streak of stubbornness in the former football head coach at Auburn, Mississippi, and Texas Tech that allowed him to compile a career 159-99 record. Tuberville shows no sign of bending.

Now, it’s important to note that Tuberville originally started blocking military promotions in the pursuit of another goal. He has vowed to block the Senate's use of"unanimous consent" to expedite military appointments until the Defense Department retracts its policy of giving enlisted women three weeks’ leave to get an abortion and reimbursing the cost of travel involved with taxpayer money.

McConnell says he doesn’t"support putting a hold on military nominations." And Biden is obviously also not happy with Tuberville. "What Sen. Tuberville is doing is not only wrong — it is dangerous,” a presidential statement argued last month."In this moment of rapidly evolving security environments and intense competition, he is risking our ability to ensure that the United States armed forces remain the greatest fighting force in the history of the world."

Only it is what Biden is doing to the military that is wrong and dangerous. As my Heritage Foundation colleague Fred Lucas, Biden is trying to promote a raft of military officers who buy into the administration’s radical theories on race and sex and an extreme climate agenda. This strategy has a name. As my friend James Lindsay reminds me, it’s called"entryism," and it’s the practice of placing your political confederates in positions of power.
