Military officers begin to speak out on the harm done by Sen. Tuberville's holds on promotions

This week, some of the military's most senior leaders took the issue head on and voiced their concerns. They say the damage the holds will do to the military will be felt for years, as young talented officers decide they’ve had enough and choose to get out.
