To what end?
From the Link:
"Reps. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Robert Garcia, D-Calif., said the investigation is needed so lawmakers can prepare for the “damaging ripple effect on the careers of service members at all levels” that resulted from the holds.
“While Senator Tuberville’s holds directly affected hundreds of senior military officials, junior officers indirectly lost the opportunity to rise in rank and gain experience,” the pair wrote. “Such career stagnation radiates massive effects on factors such as service member retention, pay, pension, and future opportunities.”
Sounds like these two democrats already "know."
_Rep Jamie Raskin, D-Md never served a day in the military, never served on any military related committees while in Congress.
_Robert Garcia, D-Calif never served a day in the military, never served on any military related committees while in Congress.
They couldn't ask one of the 97 veterans serving in the house? These two are asking the GAO to do research for no other purpose than to generate propaganda for the DNC. This is just one more example of the Democrat ruling elite weaponizing the bureaucracy.
LTC Klug hit the nail on the head. I spent most of my time in billets above my paygrade, no big deal.

Congressional democrats are cowardly, marxist, treasonous cheerleaders for terrorism, open borders, anarchy and cop-killing. The "squad," is a team of evil quislings. Vermin!

Well said. I love how NSF's (non-serving
phucks) try to inflict their views onto the military.
Yes, there is civilian control of the military, but having unknowledgeable boneheads like these trying to muscle their views on the services is just too much.

Absolutely zero damage was done, except to the many Generals pocketbooks. Zero positions went unfilled. You know it, we know it. Everyone knows it
