called extremism for now; expect white and/or supremacy to be added later

Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III signed a memo directing commanding officers and supervisors at all levels to select a date within the next 60 days to conduct a one-day "stand-down" to discuss extremism in the ranks with their personnel.
The Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1325.06, " Handling Dissident and Protest Activities Among Members of the Armed Forces" provides the core tenets to support such discussions. Leaders have the discretion to tailor discussions with their personnel as appropriate, but such discussions should include the importance of our oath of office; a description of impermissible behaviors; and procedures for reporting suspected, or actual, extremist behaviors in accordance with the DoDI.

So what happens when the first Soldier reports the SECDEF for "extremist behavior"?

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III is Jesse Jackson in uniform.

They should just start assigning political officers to each unit to ensure loyalty to the party.

The beginnings of the Stalinist style purge they have been wanting for years.

That's not the full oath of office for either the commissioning oath or the enlistment oath.

Founded Austin Strategy Group a warped think tank LINK that makes him an Al Sharpton like racist on a bad day. A Jesse Jackson race-baiter and Farrakhan on a good day.
Silly question but does he still serve on the Board Of Defense Contractor Raytheon?
Obama, Bush, Clinton's love them some radical neocons.

You think he was picked as secdef by accident?
Of course ole joe didn't know who he is (still doesn't).
He was picked by obama and rice.

I took the Army oath of office for officer commissions straight from their website.
The AF oath of office for officers does have the extra verbiage.

I actually took the oath of office and renewed it every time I was promoted.

Thank you for your service.
Why would the Army website not have the verbiage that is used, then? Your words that you say certainly aren't extremist, lol

The Army website is always behind and has numerous errors.

Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III signed a memo directing commanding officers and supervisors at all levels to select a date within the next 60 days to conduct a one-day "stand-down" to discuss conservative whites in the ranks with their personnel.
