Military Pushing Only "White Extremism"?

[Ben]

Maybe some of our current military members can chime in regarding this training.

Per the article, the military is only pushing "06JAN", and personnel are asking why antifa and other riots are not being talked about or considered extremism in their training.

In a Thursday briefing with reporters at the Pentagon, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón “CZ” Colón-López, the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that some troops have asked, when the Jan. 6 riot is brought up, “How come you’re not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that?”

Sure, why not? Older people like me say screw it and get out as early as possible. Young people with a sense of right, wrong and the american republic get pissed and bail too. Recruitment drops because snowflakes don't serve. Promotions open up due to manpower shrinking, thus rewarding the crapsacks that stay and parrot the correct lines. Voila, a politically compliant military.

The Air Force is standing down Monday for “extremist “ and “domestic terrorism” training and discussions. I haven’t seen anything in that syllabus that mentions Antifa or BLM.  I’ll not be taking part in the stand down discussions as 1. I’m a contractor and 2. I’ll be on the road down to Alabama for a TDY.

[T.O.M.]

The politicians.. I mean admirals and generals...are pushing this because it's what Congress is pushing.  Keep Congress happy and the money keeps flowing.  That is all.

No lies detected.

The Air National Guard is not participating in any stand-down to the best of my knowledge.

As far as the topic at hand, as my squadron's anti-terrorism rep, the BLM shenanigans and the January Capitol incident have gotten equal attention in our advisory briefings, at the time that they were occurring.

You can be replaced.

That started at least in 1992 if not far far earlier.

It was fully entrenched by 1992, one of the reasons I left the Navy after 12 years.

[French G.]

I joined under Clinton and it wasn't bad. 9/11 changed a lot for the better once some folks found out it wasn't all free college. The social bs was always there but we weren't taking loyalty oaths.

[RoadKingLarry]

I started with Carter, got out with Bush the Elder. Saw the very tail end of the Zumwalt era and rode out the hard pendulum swing the other way.
Fun times

I really thank those of you that advised me to tell my son to “wait until after the election before enlisting in the Navy.” That was some of the best advice ever.

I saw on 4chan this weekend a photo of an Army PowerPoint presentation on extremism. I wish I had a way to post pics here, as it was quite amusing. There were about 20 ‘hate’ symbols including swastikas, Celtic cross, Threepers, oathkeepers, Antifa , some sort of star made of bacon or licorice, 3or4 4chan memes including Pepe, plus a bunch of things that I’ve never heard of. Oddly missing: BLM. Apparantly, the information was ‘provided’ by the SPLC.

This training seems to be going well beyond the military. A fed friend emailed me that in February, their director sent out a directive that their mission statement is now, "supporting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the future." and "addressing the extremism of the 06JAN insurrection."

This is a science arm of the government. At this rate, if it is widespread throughout the .gov, when you go to check the day's weather, you'll see, "40% chance of equity before 12PM."

[brimic]

‘Equity’ is a new term that has shown up since Biden has been in office.
It’s pretty much a feel good term for ‘each according to their needs’

[HankB]

. . . their mission statement is now, "supporting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the future."

The US Post Office has been doing this for several years now, with tangible results - I now frequently get not only my own mail, but that of my neighbors and even mail meant for people in the next city over. So neighbors meet neighbors when redelivering misdirected mail, leading to an increased sense of community.

Just a reminder that the left is committed and serious about taking over the entirety of the culture. They have legions who are zealous for their faith.

ANY organization not advancing their goals will be subverted or destroyed. This includes the military, as evidenced here.

Well, if the military is reduced to lowered physical and mental standards so that only skinny-fat SJWs and trannies want to be part of it, the whole “The military will go door to door to confiscate your guns” just becomes even more comical. We might get invaded by China, but the trade off is that all of the cotton-candy colored haired officers get put into organ harvesting camps.

I guess everybody gets to be a General.

They will just recruit foreigners, illegal immigrants, and complement more specialized roles with mercenaries private military contractors. Now THAT is an army that will fire on the American Citizen.

In the libtard mind that is a feature, not a bug.

[Blakenzy]

Well the military, and it's funding, is about as useful as a sore thumb right about now. Can't defend the border from mass invasion, won't deal with systemic treason and foreign agents within. Being trained to view Citizens that don't toe the party line as the enemy  But hey, at least it is defending our freedoms in Afghanistan, 19 years and counting...

Probably needs to be verified with a second source, but scary if true:

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.

SOCOM hired a commie as their "chief of diversity and inclusion".

U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) did not know that a newly hired officer had compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and expressed support for the quasi-Marxist equity theory, a spokesperson said on Saturday.

USSOCOM on Thursday announced the hiring of Richard Torres-Estrada as its chief of diversity and inclusion.

I thought I would post this here.  This link has the link to the WSJ article.  The quoted section is the meat of the story.

Pentagon's 'Extremism In Our Ranks' Propaganda Debunked By Their Own Study

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pentagons-extremism-our-ranks-propaganda-debunked-their-own-study

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Good news: The U.S. military isn’t packed with violent extremists."

    That’s the gist of a new report commissioned by the Pentagon in 2021 and released quietly with little notice in December. The result won’t surprise Americans who have spent time in uniform, but it should calm the media frenzy about right-wing radicals in the armed forces.

    After reports that some service members participated in the Jan. 6 riot, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered an independent study to get “greater fidelity” on extremism in the ranks. The think tank tasked with the report, the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), “found no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate” to U.S. society. A review of Pentagon data suggested “fewer than 100 substantiated cases per year of extremist activity by members of the military in recent years,” the report says.
