Yet the Biden administration is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tuberville-is-right-to-hold-the-line-against-the-pentagons-taxpayer-funded-abortions\/\" title=\"Tuberville opposes taxpayer-funded abortions by the Pentagon.\">pushing taxpayer-funded abortions<\/a>, among other woke agenda items, that are rightfully fueling fears that a politicized Pentagon won\u2019t be able to defend our country. <\/p>\n<p> Whether it\u2019s climate change, subsidizing abortions, or the woke trio of diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Defense Department\u2019s top brass is in lockstep with the radical left\u2019s political agenda. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is overseeing these sweeping changes and harming our military\u2019s readiness as a result. <\/p>\n<h3> The Solution <\/h3>\n<p> Too few political leaders are standing up to challenge this damaging agenda. Fortunately, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, isn\u2019t shying away from the fight. <\/p>\n<p> Over the past several months, Tuberville has blocked the promotions of senior military officers, refusing to budge until the Pentagon reverses its policy subsidizing abortions. He\u2019s taking heat from Democrats and Republicans, but he\u2019s fully within his rights and consistent with his duties and responsibility as a senator to withhold consent as he demands changes from Pentagon leadership. <\/p>\n<p> Tuberville and a growing number of conservative lawmakers, recognize this policy for what it is: an abusive use of political power. Austin\u2019s action is clearly illegal. It\u2019s also immoral. <\/p>\n<h3> The Impact <\/h3>\n<p> The greatest threat to military readiness is the actions of a commander-in-chief who imposes unlawful policies and undermines the sanctity of civil-military relations that are the bedrock of well-functioning armed forces. He should be ashamed to put a political agenda ahead of the purpose and mission of the armed forces and the support and well-being of those that serve. <\/p>\n<p> Rather than focusing on confronting serious challenges such as the rise of China and its hegemonic ambitions, Biden and Austin have unnecessarily dragged the military into the middle of a divisive political and social issue and attempted to co-opt military resources in furtherance of an unrelated, partisan, ideological agenda. <\/p>\n<p> It\u2019s time for our military to get back to doing the nation\u2019s business and stop imposing a woke agenda on our military. There is a war in Europe, a rising and threatening China, and an open border. <\/p>\n<h3> The Call to Action <\/h3>\n<p> America is a global power with global interests and responsibilities. We can\u2019t afford a military distracted by politics. The quickest way to make this right is for Austin to immediately rescind his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-gop-candidate-youngkin-pushes-back-on-allegations-hes-hiding-radical-pro-life-stances\/\" title=\"Virginia GOP Candidate Youngkin Pushes Back On Allegations He\u2019s Hiding Radical Pro-Life Stances\">radical abortion policy<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> Each year, The Heritage Foundation publishes an \u201cIndex of U.S. Military Strength\u201d to gauge the U.S. military\u2019s ability to perform its missions. This year, for the first time, it ranks the military as weak and at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/quincy-institute-fellow-denies-muslim-uighur-genocide\/\" title=\"Quincy Institute Fellow Denies Muslim Uighur Genocide\">vital national interests<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p> It\u2019s time for political leaders to stand up and challenge this damaging agenda. We need to support our military and ensure they are ready to defend our country against all threats. <\/p>\n<h3> About the Authors <\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Retired Lt. Gen. William G.
