George Washington would not be welcome in the modern U.S. military. Neither would Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin, according to Department of Defense training documents that depict the Founding Fathers as extremists and conservative organizations as hate groups.
The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute training guide was obtained by Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act Request. It was acquired from the Air Force but originated from the Pentagon.
This document deserves a careful examination by military leadership, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News. Congress needs to conduct better oversight and figure out what the heck is going on in our military.
Included in the 133-pages of lesson plans is a student guide entitled Extremism.
The DOD warns students to be aware that many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states rights and how to make the world a better place.
Under a section titled Extremist Ideologies, the document states, In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.
Its disturbing insight into whats happening inside Obamas Pentagon, Fitton told Fox News. The Obama administration has a nasty habit of equating basic conservative values with terrorism.
The Pentagon did not return telephone calls seeking comment on the training materials.
The training guide warned that participation in groups that are regarded as extremist organizations is incompatible with military service and is, therefore prohibited.
Its craziness, Fitton said. Its political correctness run amok.

After Stalin's purges of the Red Army brass, the Soviet military was disorganized and demoralized, a situation that contributed to early German successes on the Eastern Front. The USSR was no threat to the United States in the 1937-41 period, and to no one else except their weaker neighbors. Even little Finland defeated the Soviet advances in 1940.
There is a close parallel between my imagined description of pre-World War II military training and what is currently happening in military and law enforcement training.
Rather Freudian that wanting to “make the world a better place” is viewed as extremist in the eys of those who know their actions are making things WORSE!!!!
The Pentagon is a black hole for money that has nothing to do with fighting and winning wars. Shut it down, sell it and spend the money saved on F-22 fighters and tanks.
The Founders’ ideas were Extremist.
The Founders wrote the Constitution.
Soldiers are sworn to defend the Constitution.
Therefore, Soldiers are all Extremists.
That’s why I agree with Sequestration - you can cut another 20 Billion from the Pentagon and it won’t be missed.
