Senators have left Washington for their annual 5-week summer recess without confirming nearly 300 military officers. All because a single senator has let his personal politics around abortion blind him to the very pressing needs of our Armed Service members, their families, and our national security.<\/p>\n

A lot has been written about Alabama Republican Sen. Tuberville\u2019s obstinance<\/a>. Military spouses have written to Tuberville, kindly\u00a0explaining to the civilian senator\u00a0how “the political fight unnecessarily adds to the stress of military life for families,” many of whom don\u2019t even know where they will be living or where to register their kids for school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others\u00a0have cited\u00a0the growing national security issue he is unnecessarily creating. But for many Americans, what\u2019s getting lost is exactly how this impacts day-to-day military operations. Unless you\u2019ve served, it\u2019s hard to appreciate how some seemingly wonky personnel decision can affect our military and wider security apparatus.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been in that arena.<\/p>\n

THE LEFT IS ATTACKING ME BUT THEY ARE THE ONES JEOPARDIZING OUR MILITARY<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a Marine Major, I was stationed at the Pentagon from 2016 to 2019 representing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on conventional arms control negotiations in Europe. This was a critical time for arms negotiations in Europe<\/a>: Russia was modernizing its military, building up its troops, and rehearsing for its eventual invasion of Ukraine. And for the entire time I was there, the United States did not have an ambassador at the negotiations because the White House waited nearly two years to nominate an ambassador to the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back home, nobody really cared that there wasn\u2019t an ambassador to the OSCE. Why should they? But I saw what an absence of top-level leadership meant. The questions from our allies. The comments from Russia. We didn\u2019t look serious and didn\u2019t have a real policy lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MARINE CORPS IS WITHOUT CONFIRMED LEADER FOR FIRST TIME IN 164 YEARS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It also meant that the second- and third-in-command had to shoulder more responsibility, which then meant some of their work was transferred to third- and fourth-in-command and so on down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Such a redistribution puts unnecessary and detrimental strain on the organization as a whole, making it harder to accomplish the mission. Less capacity to convince our allies to take hard positions on Russia <\/a>and the energy reliance that funded an expansion of Putin\u2019s war machine. Less ability to apply leverage. Fewer opportunities to advocate for American interests and exhibit American strength. And that was missing just one person at the top. The military is now down nearly 300 top officers. If you continue putting enough strain on an organization, it\u2019s only a matter of time before it snaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Tuberville is putting that exact kind of unnecessary strain on the United States military<\/a>. There\u2019s the immediate strain, but there\u2019s also a more insidious damage that will continue hindering our military longer after this stunt is over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every person that isn\u2019t promoted to replace a retiring officer stretches the military thinner. It means more and more officers having to perform multiple critical jobs at once. Dozens, if not hundreds, of military officers are going to have to explain why the U.S. is sending significantly lower ranks than their counterparts to critical meetings and negotiations around the globe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When China sends a high-ranking general<\/a> to meet with a third country and we send a one-star acting commander, that undermines our country, our position, and our national security. Whether we want it to or not, it says that we don’t care. That we aren’t serious. And it makes other nations question our country’s resolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weakening the position of our representatives overseas threatens not only our position in the world but our country\u2019s safety. Period. And that’s exactly what Sen. Tuberville is doing.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tuberville is counting on the fact that most Americans won\u2019t understand the harm he\u2019s causing. That\u2019s why he gets away with\u00a0cavalier statements\u00a0like “there\u2019s nobody more military than me.” This is why it\u2019s incumbent on veterans like myself<\/a> to speak out about the exact sort of damage this causes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To speak about our personal experiences when Washington politics gets in the way of the mission. And, most importantly, to demand that Sen. Tuberville ends his dangerous game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He has the opportunity \u2013 and the responsibility \u2013 to stop just saying “America First” and actually put the country first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
