This is LONG overdue. It's time we started focusing on the important issues instead of the piddly little thing that we've been focusing on around the world.

I was hoping to God this was fake news...

What in the entire frick!

I searched and it is real 2 hours ago this news broke.

What in the entire frick!

quote:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Wednesday acknowledged it was unsure about how to address white nationalism and other extremism in its ranks, and announced plans for military-wide stand-downs pausing regular activity at some point in the next 60 days to tackle the issue.

The decision to a hold a stand-down was made by Lloyd Austin, who made history by becoming the military's first Black defense secretary after a long career rising in the ranks of the Army. In his confirmation hearing, Austin underscored the need to rid the military of "racists and extremists".

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Austin ordered the stand-down after a meeting with the U.S. military branch leaders, who are under pressure to show progress in combating extremism after current and former military service members were found to have participated in the siege of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

I bet the military is wishing they would have stopped Biden now. They should have acted when they had the chance instead of letting the election theft go through.

Now would be an interesting time for China or Iran to atrack us. Who are they going to send to the front lines once they have weeded out conservative white men? Bet you they would have a change of heart on standards then. This is just them trying to create a SS force that will act to their commands.


How are yall so blind. They do not want our troops to defeat China. Now they have to weaken our military all over again since Trump built it back up.

They are pulling for the chinese military not the US military.

They want war between the two biggest opponents to china. Usa vs russia, then china finishes off what remains.

The comforting thought is, if nobody tries to start any shite against us right now, we really have no foreseeable military threat.

The scary thought is ...

The article was posted here about 3 weeks ago that this radical freak Def Sec was going to screen them.

It all started when HR's started going through social media.

Now if these weekend warriors ever liked anything Trump they are ruined...

This is frightening.

I plan on saying something to the effect of “if you can point me to an actual extremist, I’ll give you my next paycheck. Otherwise, this briefing is a Sec Def mandated waste of time.”

The real racism happening from the Def Sec in plain sight. It’s unbelievable what is passing for good these days.

They are fast tracking the plan to get the "correct" soldiers to murder Americans.

So isn’t this reason to go to the I.G. for singling out and demonizing a specific race?

Can’t wait for all the handwringing when enlistment numbers drop like a rock.

Every soldier that voted for Trump should use this as an opportunity to step down from military service. I would love to see that happen.

I have no doubt

Obama began the process in the officer ranks and now they are going after the enlisted.
