    I wish I could say that good judgement will eventually win out. The only way that to happen is if Tuberville is out of the picture. For him it’s not about his beliefs. He doesn’t have any. It’s all about the attention he’s getting and the power he’s wielding.

    He’s a very small human. Don’t forget he was a football coach and just about every football coach has the old Vince Lombardi mantra drilled in their heads, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing”. It’s all about winning. Decency doesn’t matter.

    One thing I think people keep missing is that the entire military still is operating with no detriment. They still have people filling positions and acting with the authorities the position holds.

    This inconvenience doesn’t impact day to day operations.

    Senators should have this ability to hold things up. If we make the statement they can’t then we open ourselves up for ridicule when the situation is reversed.
