They didn't have to vote Yes anyway. It's called integrity and it's not that complicated. If there is anything in the bill that's wrong, you vote No! If your constituency doesn't want it, and you represent them (which is exactly your job), you vote No!
I agree with you. I'd go even further and claim the NDAA is unconstitutional. But unfortunately over the years democrats and replublicants alike have crafted an evil web of lies and have inextricably linked the military to this ndaa bill.
If the ndaa were to ever not pass it would cripple the military and make all military life complicated (for the children and spouses of service members also). Republican leaning military voters might even be hesitant to vote republican in the future.
