Alabama Political Reporter:
On Friday, retired two-star Marine Corps Major General Arnold Punaro called Tuberville a coward over his hold that has stopped at least 270 promotions and left the Marines without a commandant for the first time in more than 100 years.
Tuberville’s hold is a sort-of one-man protest of a Department of Defense policy that reimburses active duty service members who have to travel to other states to receive healthcare services, including abortions, because they’re not legal in the state where they’re stationed.
“I have a huge problem with what Sen. Tuberville is doing,” Punaro told Politico. “He’s a coward, in my book. He won’t even bring an amendment to the floor and get it voted on to change the policy.”
