The DoD may consider you an “Extremist” if you dare question “gender-fluidity.”

Are you an Orthodox Jew?
An Evangelical Christian?
A Conservative Protestant?
A Traditional Catholic?
Or do you simply believe in the realities of biological sex?
If serving in the military, you might be involuntarily separated or court-martialed for those views.
Marine Corps Officer Warns Congress Against Classifying Christians in Military as ‘Religious Extremists’
A slide used in a Department of Defense (DOD) training manual identifies Catholics and evangelical Christians as “religious extremists,” along with members of the Ku Klux Klan, al-Qaeda, and Hamas, according to a Marine Corps officer.
“First Liberty also obtained a screenshot of an unclassified slide from a U.S. Army training manual. The slide is entitled ‘Religious Extremism’ and it purports to identify religious extremists,” Michael Berry told the House Armed Services Committee, during a hearing on March 24 titled “Extremism in the Military.”
Berry is general counsel to the First Liberty Institute (FLI), a Plano, Texas-based public interest law firm that specializes in First Amendment and religious freedom cases. Berry is also an officer in the Marine Corps Reserves, although he presented his testimony in his capacity as a civilian.
“Included among those listed are al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Ku Klux Klan as groups that use or advocate violence to accomplish their objectives and are therefore rightly classified as extremists,” Berry told the committee.
“But also included are Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism, who most assuredly do not advocate violence. Surely, the fact that Evangelical Christians and Catholics hold fast to millennia-old views on marriage and human sexuality does not make them extremists who are unfit to serve.
“At a time of turmoil and instability, during which our nation faces many external threats, [this] message is inappropriate and offensive to our service members and those they defend.”
The training manual that Berry referred to is used in Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s recently ordered “stand-down” to identify and root out extremists in the U.S. military. Austin’s order came in the wake of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, in which some of the participants were military veterans.
Austin said, in a DOD video explaining his reasons for the stand-down that all military members in each of the branches are required to view, that “there is not a single doubt in my mind that you take seriously your oath to the Constitution and that you serve this country with honor and dignity and character.”
Even so, according to Austin in the video, the stand-down is needed because of “extremism and extremist ideology, views, and conduct that runs counter to everything that we believe in.”
Austin claimed in the video that the presence of extremist views “is not new to our country and, sadly, it’s not new to our military.” He didn’t provide in the video any examples of such individuals....

My hope is every Christian and white male will leave the military when their time is up and no more will join the military.
The next war the military fights will be against freedom loving Americans and I will like the military as weak as possible.

During the height of the Iraq War, Auburn University would regularly feature stadium flyovers of jets and helicopters during games to the roaring and ecstatic applause of the crowds.
I said then that the day may soon be coming when those same instruments of war will be turned on the very people mindlessly cheering them on.
Little did I imagine then how fast things would degenerate that such a scenario is more a matter of “when” instead of “if.”

If they get all of the people who think remotely like I do out I will root against that military in the next war no matter who it is against. They may occupy the same space as my people do but they are not the same country.

Oh yeah, turn the military into the Red Guard. That'll work.

When disagreement equals extremism, I choose to leave the Big Tent in Clown World. Panama, here I come.

Please do. By all means...piss off these highly trained people by firing them and sending them back into the general public.
They may well end up forming the core of a new military.

Well, I am extreme, what ever that means!

I've been told pregnant women are the most dangerous force the military has ever fronted. Why wouldn't the military target pregnant women for enlistment?

Then I am an extremist, and proud of it.

I agree that the Federals are the enemy of the People.

The US military should get rid of its Chaplain Corps, because Religion no longer has a place in Uniform. The Federals have made it so.

They can suck my dick and get gender fluid all over their face.

Funny how the military puts your religion on your dog tags, gives you a new testament, and provides you with a Chaplain.

You can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct -

Sure, maybe a tiny fraction of humans are that way, but so what? As for the rest of the species...

And just like that - the DOD doubled their enemies.

Au contraire.
