Military officers whose confirmations were left at a standstill for over 10 months because of Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville's protest of a Pentagon abortion policy may be getting back pay for the time they spent time waiting to be confirmed.
The Senate Thursday passed legislation led by Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., that provides the pay for military officers whose promotions were delayed. The bill also adjusts the affected service members' time in grade, or the time a service member has continuously served, as well as other administrative fixes.

..."“It’s obvious to me that he realized he was doing significant damage to our national security, so he lifted the holds,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said of Tuberville. “But on the full admirals and generals, or people being promoted there, he didn’t [realize].”
Schumer hasn’t yet outlined plans to hold votes on the remaining promotions. The Senate is scheduled to go into recess for the rest of the year after next week, but some Democrats want to make sure the officers are confirmed before the end of the year.
“That’s still going to have a major impact,” Kelly said. “So we’ve got to figure out a path forward.”

The jackass purposely hurt the military for his political views. Doctors are not supposed to hurt patients, politicians should not hurt the country.
