Tuberville failed to mention that he's personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    “$114 million on diversity training, you gotta be kidding me,” Tuberville said.

    What an idiot to choose to say this.

    How much has it cost the military in lawsuits and defending racism, harassment, sexual assault, and every other form of behavior that homophobes, racists, and misogynists perpetrate on those around them. How has that affected leadership, personnel readiness, quality of work? Betcha that cost is far higher than some shitty hot take on “OMG the military is soft…”

      It is a mistake to assume the right wing cares about facts. They don’t use words to find or describe truth. They use them for effect.

      DoD budget is $1.52 trillion btw

      I think we can handle 1/10,000th of our budget being spent on not being shitty to fellow military members.
